Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 cup mashed bananas about 2 medium bananas
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toasted and chopped walnuts
- chocolate chips and walnuts for garnish optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add ¼ cup unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat until light brown in color. Once the butter melts, it will start getting foamy. Once the foam subsides, you’ll see clear bubbles. Continue cooking and stirring constantly to keep the butter from burning. Once the butter smells nutty and turns a caramel color, turn off the heat. This process will take about 7-9 minutes. Allow brown butter to cool to room temperature before using.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 cup mashed bananas, 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt into another bowl.
- Add the flour mixture into the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup toasted and chopped walnuts.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough. Garnish with extra chocolate chips and walnuts for garnish, if desired.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy!
