Instructions:
Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of oil.
Mash the bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Make sure there are no large pieces of banana left.
Add the dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats, raisins, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Shape the cookies: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, pressing them down slightly to give them the shape of cookies. Be sure to leave space between the cookies, as they will expand slightly during baking.
Baking: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
Cooling and storage: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and crispy.
