Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon as these cookies will not spread much while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Divine Oatmeal Banana Cookies with a cup of coffee, tea, or as a standalone snack!
