I had some bananas on the kitchen counter that were quickly turning brown. I remembered a recipe that I had saved from Cooking Light magazine for these cookies. They were easy to make and delicious - not much butter or sugar, so I didn't feel bad about having two!
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (1 medium)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
5.6 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first 5 ingredients, beat until smooth. Add egg, beat well. Mix flour, oats, soda and salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add flour mixture to banana mixture, beat until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop batter by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart on greased or non-stick cooking sheets. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden (mine took a little less time).
Makes 2 dozen cookies

I have the bananas on the counter, tired of making just plain old banana bread all the time. Will try this tomorrow. Love your blog. Following it now (took me awhile, sorry!). Kara
