Banana Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are really yummy! They have that delightful flavor of your momma's banana cookies, but the oatmeal gives them some texture and keeps them from falling apart.
 
Banana Oatmeal Cookies

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 sticks butter, softened (1 1/2 c)
2 eggs
4 bananas
3 1/2 cups oats
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Beat in softened butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Add eggs, bananas, and quick oats to bowl and beat until fluffy.
Add chocolate chips and walnuts.
Spoon onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, then place on a rack to cool.
