Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mash the banana in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla and whisk until well combined with the banana.
• Add the oats and salt, folding until the oats look evenly moistened. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, level, and roll about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie dough and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets, spaced at least two inches apart. Gently flatten each mound to ½-inch thickness.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should be slightly soft.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
