Pro Tips for the Best Banana Oat Cookies

✔️ Use spotty, overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
✔️Add a small pinch of salt to enhance and balance the taste.
✔️ Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before shaping—this helps the oats absorb the banana.
✔️ Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
