Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, mashed banana, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra boost of banana flavor, use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer freshness.
