Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas and lemon juice with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and sugars. Beat until fully incorporated. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Slowly add to the wet ingredients with the mixer on low speed, until just combined. Fold in the pecans and ¾ cups of the chocolate chips.
Use a medium sized cookie scoop to spoon dough onto baking sheets, placing 2 inches apart. Use the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips to place on top of each dough ball. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and just browned. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 8 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
