Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Stir in the mashed bananas until just incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chopped nuts.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can add other mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit if desired.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
