These cookies rely on mashed ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture, giving them a soft, cake-like chew rather than a crisp snap. Rolled oats add texture while toasted walnuts bring crunch and richness. They make a wholesome breakfast cookie or afternoon snack, and they keep well for several days.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

  8. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

  9. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
