Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup mashed banana (appx 1 large banana)
1 cup old fashioned oats
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely cut into chunks appx 1/4-inch
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (Martha says to toast, I skipped that part)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 375.
Combine flours, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.
Put butter & sugars into bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined. Mix in banana. Add flour mixture, mix until just combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chunks, and walnuts.
Using 1 1/2\" ice cream scoop (I used my Pampered Chef small scoop) drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 2\" apart.
Bake cookies (Martha recommends rotating sheets - I didn't do that) until golden brown and just set, 12-13 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes & transfer to wire rack to complete cooling.
Can be stored in airtight containers up to 2 days if not all eaten immediately.
