Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda, oats, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, flattening each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
