Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla and peanut butter. Stir until fully combined.
Stir in quick oats, cinnamon, and chocolate chips if used. Combine until it forms a consistent and sticky oatmeal cookie dough forms.
Use your hands to shape 12 cookie balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a 1-thumb space between each ball. They won't spread in the oven.
Flatten each cookie dough ball with the palm of your hand. The thinner, the drier they will be. Keep them thick for a moist cookie.
Bake 10 minutes, they should be golden brown on top but still moist in the middle.
Cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes then enjoy!
Store for up to 1 week in the fridge in a cookie jar. You can freeze them in silicone bags and thaw them the day before at room temperature.
