Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a half sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.

Add the masked bananas, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Add pancake mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and use a spoon to stir until well combined. Batter should resemble a slightly wet cookie dough. Add crushed walnuts and mix once more. Evenly space 12 piles of dough onto the cookie sheet, using a spatula or spoon to flatten the dough into a cookie shape (cookies will puff up, not spread out!). Top with crushed walnuts if desired.

Place in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges and bottoms are golden brown. Enjoy for breakfast during the week! Lasts up to 5 days in a sealed airtight container.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Ripeness is Critical 🍌
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots to maximize natural sweetness and moisture, ensuring the softest, fluffiest cookies without added sugar.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣
Gently fold ingredients together until just combined; overmixing develops gluten in the pancake mix, resulting in tough cookies instead of tender ones.
Coconut Oil Temperature Matters 🥥
Melt coconut oil completely and let it cool slightly before mixing into wet ingredients to prevent cooking the bananas and preserve the delicate texture.
Toast the Walnuts First 🌰
Lightly toast walnuts for 5-7 minutes before chopping to deepen their flavor and add a subtle richness that complements the banana bread profile.
Cool Completely Before Storing 🧊
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before storing to maintain their fluffy interior and prevent them from becoming dense.
