Equipment

  • Oven
  • Microwave
  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Bowl
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 Banana Ripe
  • ½ stick Butter Unsalted, 4 Tablespoons
  • ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Peanut Butter
  • ⅓ cup Light Brown Sugar Packed
  • 1 Egg Large
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ⅔ cup Rolled Oats
  • ½ cup Raisins Optional
  • ⅓ cup Chocolate Chips Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mash the banana with a fork.
  • Cut butter in half. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat in microwave 10-15 seconds to soften. Be careful not to melt butter.
  • In a large bowl, use a mixing spoon to blend butter, banana, and sugar.
  • Add peanut butter and brown sugar. Continue mixing until completely combined.
  • Add egg and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  • Add flours and baking soda. Mix until smooth.

  • Scoop dough with a teaspoon. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten dough balls by using a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the cookies.
  • Bake on middle rack of oven until cookies are lightly browned on bottom, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit 5 minutes to firm up. Remove from tray.

Notes

  • Cookies may take a little more or less time to brown depending on your oven.
  • For a quick snack, crumble cookies on top of ½ cup low-fat plain yogurt.
