Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup oat flour or swap with 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted butter or a neutral oil can also be used
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2-3 large)
1/2 – 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the flours, baking powder, salt, baking soda in a bowl.
In a measuring cup or other bowl, combine the coconut oil, sugar, yogurt, egg, vanilla and mashed banana. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Use a rounded tablespoon of dough per cookie and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies begin to brown around the edges.

Notes

Oat flour adds a tenderness to these cookies, but if you don't have it on hand, using all-purpose flour (at a slightly lower volume) works too!

The original recipe these are based on uses 1 cup of sugar. Using 1/2 cup of sugar feels like the perfect amount for a breakfast-appropriate cookie to me as the bananas add tons of natural sweetness on their own.

You can sub butter or a neutral oil like vegetable or canola for the coconut oil if you wish.
