Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies


Similar to this recipe, but just a tad different!

1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I used J.R Watkins Vanilla Nut Extract)
2 cups oats
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 heaping cup walnut pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt into a bowl.  In another bowl combine both sugars and softened butter. Use a mixer to blend together. Add egg and blend. Add vanilla and bananas and blend until smooth. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Add oats and mix thoroughly. Add mini chocolate chips and nuts and mix together.

Using a melon baller, drop onto a greased cookie sheet. I pressed mine down a bit so they weren't so mound-like. Bake for 10-15 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.

Yields 25-30 cookies depending on the size.
