Time 22m

Yield 30 cookies, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 1/2 large bananas)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup chopped nuts (pick your favorite or even add chocolate chips)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • In a bowl, mix the mashed bananas and baking soda. Let sit for 2 minutes. The baking soda will react with the acid in the bananas which in turn will give the cookies their lift and rise.
  • Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold into the batter the pecans or chocolate chips if using. Drop in dollops onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Let cool on wire racks.
  • Makes about 30 cookies.

1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon banana extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

  • Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.
  • Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.

BANANA NUT OATMEAL COOKIES



BANANA NUT OATMEAL COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Fruit     Nut     Bake     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 well ripened banana (cut into 1" or so chunks)
1/2 Cup chopped Walnuts
~2 ounces of either dark chocolate, white chocolate, or caramels, chopped (for drizzling, optional but highly recomended)

Steps:

  • Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, beat both sugars, butter, and shortening together until smooth(I use a stand mixer) Add Vanilla, egg, and banana, beat until well mixed. Stir in Flour mixture, oats, and walnuts until blended. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. You will have to make several batches, but only bake 1 pan at a time. Bake cookies until edges are light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. While one sheet is cooling, start baking the next sheet. For Drizzling : Stir chopped chocolate or caramels (if using caramels add about a tablespoon of water) in top of double boiler until melted and smooth. (you can also melt chocolate in the microwave in 10 second burst stirring well between burst until smooth and liquid if you prefer. Using a small spoon, drizzle topping over cookies in zigzag pattern. Let stand until topping sets, about 1 hour, or refrigerate cookies for about 10-15 minutes to set topping faster. I usually use a combination of 2 toppings, drizzled in opposite directions for aesthetic appeal.

BANANA NUT WAFFLE COOKIES

BANANA NUT COOKIES



Banana Nut Cookies image

These are so easy and so good! Like banana bread in a cookie size! Even better when they're frosted (mmmm...buttercream :). Can roll them and cut them out, or just roll into small balls and squish with the bottom of a glass. I've used the Betty Crocker and Mrs. White's muffin mixes with equal success. Have yet to try with Jiffy mix though since it's always out.

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6 1/2 ounce) package banana nut muffin mix
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted and cooled slightly
1 -2 tablespoon milk (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together muffin mix, flour, and brown sugar.
  • Add cooled butter.
  • Stir just until soft dough forms (add milk if necessary here).
  • Stick in the fridge/freezer if too sticky to work with for a while.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
  • Roll to 1/4 in thick and cut cookies, or roll dough into 1 in balls and press flat with the bottom of a glass.
  • Place 2 in apart on cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350 F for 9-10 min or till cookies begin to brown.
  • Cool on wire rack.
  • Frost when cool if desired!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripened bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will result in more flavorful cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar: This will help to create a light and fluffy cookie. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour will give the cookies a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Add the nuts and chocolate chips last: This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Banana nut cookies are a classic treat that are easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple tips, you can make the best banana nut cookies ever. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
