Banana Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Description
Banana Oatmeal Cookies blend mashed bananas with all-purpose flour, oats, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The dry ingredients include baking soda and salt to help with leavening and flavor balance. Using both brown and white sugars with shortening provides a rich, tender cookie base. The mashed bananas contribute natural sweetness and moisture, resulting in a soft texture. The cinnamon and nutmeg add warm, spiced notes. After creaming the shortening and sugars, the banana, oats, and vanilla are mixed in before folding in the dry ingredients.
The cookies are scooped onto baking sheets and baked at 350°F until the edges turn lightly browned, approximately 9 to 12 minutes. These cookies offer a pleasant chew from the oats and a moist crumb from the bananas. They can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert.
