15 mins prep20 mins cook35 mins total
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Mash the bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and mix until evenly combined.
Fold through the chopped dark chocolate. Leave the mixture for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture.
Divide the mixture into 12 mounds on the tray and flatten each one into a thick cookie. Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.
Cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Keep cooking
