- 1/2 cup mashed banana

Notes
- You can customize these cookies by adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- If avoiding added sugars, omit the honey or substitute with a natural sweetener like maple syrup.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and check that chocolate chips are dairy-free.
