How to Make Banana Nut Breakfast Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup (120ml) mashed ripe banana until well combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup (100g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 cup (30g) chocolate chips (optional).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. (Start checking at 8 minutes).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
