WOMB Cookies (Walnut Oatmeal Maple Banana Cookies)



I had a rotting banana and two packets of instant maple & brown sugar oatmeal. I wanted to get rid of them. Thus, these chewy, delicious cookies were born, fitting in perfectly with my desire to make comforting fall foods to celebrate the first day of fall. Can’t wait to make ice cream sandwiches with these bad boys!
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spices (or cinnamon)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal 
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preheatoven to 350°; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin spice in a bowl.

In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar on medium speed.  

Add the egg, followed by the mashed banana and vanilla extract.

Using a wooden spoon, stir in the banana mixture with the flour mixture, then stir in the oatmeal packets until just combined. Stirin the chopped walnuts.

Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheets and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.

Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
