Oatmeal Banana Cookies

recipe-img

Description

Use overripe bananas to make these cookies for the best results. I call for cornstarch for a few reasons. It helps absorb the liquid ingredients, ensuring the cookie does not spread too much. Unlike flour, it does not contain gluten, and it helps the cookie stay tender and soft. It also helps the cookie stay fluffy and not dry out. A little goes a long way with it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (135g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (78g) rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small over-ripe banana (enough to make about 1/4 cup mashed)
  • 1/2 cup (117g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/4 cup (55g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (75g) walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (75g) chocolate chips
