Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
- Beat in the egg, mashed bananas, and oats. Stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated into a soft dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, ensuring they’re distributed evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough by tablespoonfuls and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
