Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Add in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this to the wet mixture.

  6. Gently fold in the mix-ins (walnuts or chocolate chips).
  7. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
