Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 113 g of unsalted butter, stirring until it turns golden amber and releases a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, mash 80 g of ripe banana with 1 tsp of ground cinnamon until chunky purée. Add cooled brown butter, 100 g light brown sugar, 50 g granulated sugar, and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until smooth yet slightly chunky.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 130 g all-purpose flour, 60 g rolled oats, 0.5 tsp baking powder, 0.5 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp salt. Fold this into the wet mixture gently until no flour streaks remain.
- Add 130 g semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough and fold them in gently until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies light and chewy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out rounded bits of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. The aroma of banana and chocolate will fill the kitchen.
- Let cookies rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
