Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and have ready a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed and mix until well combined and lightened in color, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and mix until combined. Then, add the mashed bananas and the vanilla and mix once more.

Step 4

Mixing on low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until all of the ingredients have been combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix just until evenly dispersed.

Step 5

Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of batter onto the baking sheet, spacing them at least 1" apart. Bake for 13 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on the pan, serve, and enjoy!
