Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 - 8.5 ounce bag Reese's Baking Cups and Pieces (cut the pb cups in half)*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie pan with a Silpat or use an un-greased air bake cookie sheet.
  2. In mixing bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until creamy. Add the eggs vanilla, and mashed banana and beat again.
  3. Stir together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour, and oats. Slowly mix this into the butter mixture.
  4. Gently stir in the chocolate chips and the Reese's mix. (I like to keep some of this out and press it into the tops of the dough before baking.)
  5. Drop by spoonful onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 min or until edges are light brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes, then gently remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Store in a tightly sealed container.

Notes

*The bag of Reese's Baking Cups and Pieces is found in the baking aisle and has mini peanut butter cups and mini Reese's Pieces in it. If you can't find this particular item, buy the two things individually and use 1/2 cup of each.
