• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 24 Cookies

Ingredients

• 3  bananas, ripe
• 1⁄3 cup canola oil
• 2  cups quick-cooking oats
• 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
•  cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until no longer lumpy. If bananas aren't very ripe, a hand mixer may be used. Stir in oil, oats, chocolate chips, and vanilla.
3. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
4. For each cookie, spoon about 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture (or more depending on how big you want the cookie) onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
5. **IF batter seems a little dry, add a little milk to moisten.
6. Variations: Instead of chocolate chips add raisins or craisins. Chopped walnuts are great in these cookies. Or, try coconut oil instead of canola oil.
