Ingredients

  • Reynolds Kitchens® Parchment Paper with SmartGrid®
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 medium bananas (mashed, about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 2/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens® Parchment Paper with SmartGrid®.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add bananas, vanilla, and eggs. Add mashed bananas, vanilla, and eggs and mix until completely combined.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  6. Stir in mix-ins. Stir in chocolate chunks and walnuts.
  7. Scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet being sure to use the gridlines to space the cookies at least 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes until browned around the bottom edges. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack and repeating with remaining cookie dough.
  9. Store cookies. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days or in the fridge up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes to firm up before transferring to the cooling rack.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
