Banana Oatmeal Cookie

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 scant teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened but still cool
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup mashed bananas, from 2 large overripe bananas
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 Directions

Space two oven racks so that the oven is divided into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add the flour and oats mixture and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop large balls of dough (about 1-1/2 tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart (I use a small ice cream scooper with a wire scraper). Bake for 14-17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back midway through, until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
