Notes
- * Look for ripe bananas with brown spots. If they’ve turned completely brown on the inside, they’re too ripe.
- Make it gluten-free: simply use gluten-free oats to avoid any risk of contamination from wheat.
- Make it sugar-free: simply use sugar-free chocolate chips instead of regular semisweet chocolate chips.
- Storage: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container with layers of parchment or wax paper in between to prevent sticking.
