Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Chop the pecans and mash the bananas.
• Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy. Continue mixing the butter to prevent burning. Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl to cool for at least 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add in vanilla, egg, and mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth.
• Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Don't over-mix!
• Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
• Scoop 6 cookie dough balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Add extra pecans and chocolate chips on top.
• Bake for 10-13 minutes until edges are golden brown and the centers look soft. Remove from oven and cool on the hot pan for a few minutes before serving.
