Instructions

1

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.

2

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Pro tip: Use a whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients.

3

Prepare wet mixture

In another bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the mashed bananas, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure bananas are well mashed to avoid chunks.

4

Combine mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Overmixing can make biscuits tough.

5

Shape biscuits

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.

Pro tip: If dough is sticky, dampen your fingers with water.

6

Bake biscuits

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even baking.

7

Cool and serve

Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on the rack helps them crisp up.
