How to Make Banana Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line baking sheets.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and stir them into the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup rolled oats, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
