Ingredients

1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare a large cookie sheet with a parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl combine oat flour, walnuts, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder and salt. Mix it well until there are no lumps.
In another large bowl mash bananas with a fork or a food masher as fine as possible and almost in liquid consistency. Add vanilla extract to it and whip it with a spoon.
Now, fold in mashed bananas into the flour mixture and whip it into a dough like batter.
With a medium sized cookie scoop drop 12 cookies with 1/2 inch gap between each of them on the prepared cookie sheet.
Shape them roughly with the back of your cookie scoop or a steel spoon by pressing them slightly from the top and shaping them round from the side. (Do not flatten too much or these will lose its texture at this stage).
Place the cookie sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake it for 30 minutes. Turn it off and let them rest for 30 seconds in the warm oven. (Do not over rest in warm oven or else they will be overbaked). Take them out and let them cool. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to mash bananas and not blend them. However, mash them as fine as possible.

You may top the cookies with more chopped walnuts if you like before baking them.
