I have enough recipes for three lifetimes...and this is just one more I FINALLY tried! I had an overabundance of over-the-hill bananas and used them all in one fell swoop with this recipe! Easy, moist, tastes good! Not too many cookies left after only one day either! Feel free to change the spices to your liking! Sorry...no clue as to the origin of this recipe. Prep time and baking time are guesstimates. I use commercial-sized sheets so it doesn't take me too long!
Ingredients:
1 large egg
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 cups bananas, very ripe and mashed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (or more!)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*F. Spray cookie sheets.
2. Whisk the egg, brown sugar, and oil together. Add mashed bananas and vanilla; mix well.
3. Mix in the oats and allow to set for at least five minutes.
4. Combine flour, soda, and spices; then mix into oat mixture.
5. Stir in nuts.
6. Drop balls (rounded T.) about 2 apart. Bake 13-15 minutes. Move cookies to rack to cool.
