Prep time:
Baking time:
Makes: about 24 large cookies
Freezing: excellent

Ingredients:

½ cup (125mL) butter, softened
½ cup (125mL) brown sugar, packed
½ cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp (5mL) pure vanilla extract
1 cup (250mL) Five Roses® All Purpose Bleached White Flour
1 cup (250mL) Robin Hood® Large Flake Oats
½ cup (125mL) Five Roses All Purpose Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp (5mL) baking soda
½ tsp (2mL) salt
2 cups (500mL) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 bananas, sliced (¼” (5mm)) and quartered (about 1 1/3 cups/325mL)
24 banana chips (optional)

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, until blended, about 1 minute. Add egg and vanilla and mix until blended.
  3. Combine flours, oats, baking soda and salt. On low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. Mix in chocolate chips. Add quartered bananas and mix on low just until they are evenly distributed and some of the banana is mashed but most of the pieces are still visible.
  4. Drop 2 tbsp (30mL) dough on prepared baking sheets, about 2” (5cm) apart. Place banana chip on top of each cookie.
  5. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack.

Tips:
  • Unlike banana bread these cookies use firm ready to eat bananas.
  • If you would like smaller cookies use only 1 tbsp (15mL) dough and bake for 15-18 minutes.
