Preheat your oven on 180'C/350'F and line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper or a baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, finely mash the Ripe Bananas until smooth. Add the Peanut Butter (and optionally, the Ground Cinnamon and/or Vanilla Extract). Whisk together until combined.
Add the Oats and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the oats are evenly covered with the peanut butter/mashed bananas.
With a small Ice Cream Scoop (see note 1), scoop out small dollops of cookie batter onto the baking tray. Gently flatten the cookies with your fingers.
Optional: top the cookies with Chocolate Chips.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden (see note 2).
Leave the cookies to cool down on the baking tray for 15 to 20 minutes then transfer on a cooling rack until completely cool (see note 3).

Notes
Ingredients Notes:
For the best and most accurate result, I highly recommend weighting the mashed bananas to get the recommended quantity. Banana size can highly vary so weighting them is the best way to insure you are using the right amount.
Instruction Notes:
If you don't have an ice cream scoop, you can simply create small balls of batter using your hands and flatten them. Using an ice cream scoop simply insure that you get about the same quantity of batter in each cookies.
Depending on the size and thickness of the cookies, they might need a little bit more or less time in the oven. Keep an eye on the colour as an indication.
They will be very soft when they come out of the oven, it's normal. They will start to harden and set as they cool down, so make sure not to try to move them from the baking tray straight away or they might fall apart.
