Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda, and cinnamon with the mashed bananas.

If desired, fold in the chocolate chips gently.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.

Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
