Chewy Banana Nut Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup Enriched all purpose white flour
1 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/8 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. Unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup packed Light brown sugar
1 large Egg(s)
1 large Bananas, raw (mashed)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup, chopped Walnuts, shelled
1 spray Spray olive oil (as needed)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and grease sheets with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add in the egg and mix until incorporated, then add the mashed banana and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

To avoid over mixing, fold in the flour mixture and oats by hand, using a rubber spatula, until just incorporated. The fold in the chopped walnuts.

Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets and very slightly flatten.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cookies may be stored in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

This still a dessert. It is meant to be consumed in moderation, but is a more nutritious option to satisfy your sweet tooth. You can also add a few chocolate chips or coconut to change it up.

"On more than one occasion, the camera has cut to me after a break as I'm still trying to swallow the last bite of cookie. Those of you who have thought to yourselves, 'That guy talks like he has marbles in his mouth,' should know that they are not marbles, but oatmeal cookies."
