Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
