Equipment

  • Mixing bowls (medium and large)
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 2–3 bananas
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans your choice
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep:

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Cream Butter and Sugar:

  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy about 2 minutes.

Add Wet Ingredients:

  • Mix in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled because of the bananas, but that’s totally normal.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix — just stir until there’s no more visible flour.

Fold in the Good Stuff:

  • Using a spatula or spoon, fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips. This will give your cookies that hearty, banana-bread-meets-cookie texture and flavor.

Scoop and Bake:

  • Drop spoonful of dough (about 1 to 1½ tablespoons each) onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Let the cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
