Cut the bananas into \u00bc-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into 4 triangle-shaped wedge.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>unsalted butter<\/strong> - You will melt the butter, so you don't have to worry about setting it out on your counter to soften it.\n<ul>\n<li>You can melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>cinnamon<\/strong> - You'll use \u00be teaspoon of cinnamon which will get bloomed in the melted butter (mixing it into warm butter will enhance the flavor). You can add less if you prefer a more pronounced oat flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vegetable oil<\/strong> - The oil is a key ingredient for making soft oatmeal cookies. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>granulated sugar<\/strong> - This sugar will not only add sweetness but it will also encourage browning. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>brown sugar<\/strong> - I used dark brown sugar to give these cookies a more robust toffee flavor, but light brown sugar works fine too. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>egg\/egg yolk<\/strong> - You will use 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk. The extra yolk adds extra moisture to the cookie and ramps up the rich flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vanilla<\/strong> - Always use pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for the best flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>all-purpose flour<\/strong> - The amount of flour in this recipe is lower than in most recipes and this lower amount keeps the cookies from having a cakey texture but it's needed to give the cookies structure. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>salt<\/strong> - Use \u00be teaspoon of table salt to balance the sweetness in the cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>baking soda<\/strong> - Just \u00bd teaspoon will give your cookies the rise that they need. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>old-fashioned rolled oats<\/strong> - Your cookies will have the best flavor and texture when you use old-fashioned rolled oats. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let's make banana oatmeal cookies.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/howtomakeeasycookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cut-banana-slices-in-quarters.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtomakeeasycookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cut-banana-slices-in-quarters.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/howtomakeeasycookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cut-banana-slices-in-quarters-360x361.jpg 360w, https:\/\/howtomakeeasycookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cut-banana-slices-in-quarters-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/howtomakeeasycookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cut-banana-slices-in-quarters-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">step 1 - cut and freeze the bananas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Unpeel two medium bananas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut into \u00bc-inch thick slices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, cut each banana slice into 4 wedges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measure out 1 \u00bd cups of the diced bananas. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread the pieces in an even layer on a silicone mat or wax paper lined baking sheet or cutting board and place them in the freezer for 30-60 minutes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1645203647140\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do I need to freeze the bananas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You want the banana pieces to hold their shape when they are mixed into the oatmeal cookie dough.
