Serves
10–12 cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
Stir in the oats and cinnamon until combined.
Fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips gently.
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Melissa's Notes
Feel free to use just strawberries, just chocolate chips, or swap in blueberries — whatever you prefer or have on hand. For added texture and healthy fats, try adding ⅓ cup crushed walnuts. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the cookies will naturally be. These cookies are soft and cake-like rather than crispy, and are best eaten fresh. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days — if they last that long! They're great eaten cold too.
