Servings:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the egg and Greek yogurt.
1 egg, ⅓ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Add in the bananas and mash with a fork.
3 very ripe bananas
Sprinkle in the cinnamon and mix thoroughly.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine the chocolate chips and rolled oats into the banana mixture, then refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chocolate chips
Using a large scoop, divide the dough into 12 cookies. Press the tops flat as these cookies remain in the same shape as they cook.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the middle is set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

You can substitute dried fruit for chocolate chips.
Add in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or almonds for additional nutritional value.
Be sure to flatten the dough before baking, as it won't spread in the oven.
Microwave your cookies for a few seconds to get them nice and warm!
Nut butter and/or apple butter can be used instead of the Greek yogurt and egg to make these cookies vegan.
