- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and mashed banana. Mix to combine.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Last, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and set aside to let the flour hydrate in the dough while the oven preheats, about 15 minutes.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the oven is preheated, scoop out about 1 inch dough balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookies have puffed up, but the middles are still underbaked.
- Allow to cool before eating!
Notes
If you’d like to make these cookies vegan, swap out the egg yolk for 1 ½ teaspoons ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let the flax egg sit for 5 minutes to congeal before using in the recipe in place of egg yolk.
