Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas and creamy peanut butter. Mix well until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the banana and peanut butter mixture. Stir until all ingredients are just combined and no dry spots remain. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they will not spread much during baking.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are set. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of your cookies.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
