How to Make Banana Nut Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup milk (any kind), and ½ cup chopped pecans. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup packed brown sugar and 2 large egg whites until light and fluffy.
  4. Mash 1 ripe banana and add it to the wet ingredients along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the oat mixture until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
