- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch nutmeg
Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins

- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Prep your space by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for a quick and easy cleanup.
- Whisk together your wholesome dry ingredients—flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg—in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars together for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and perfectly creamed.
- Stir the naturally sweet mashed bananas, vanilla, and eggs into the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined.
- Gently fold the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Stir in your antioxidant-rich chocolate chunks and heart-healthy walnuts to complete your batter.
- Use a cookie scoop to place even dollops of dough onto your lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden, then let them cool on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
