- Cooking Time: 20 min
Ingredients
- 1½ cups chopped walnuts
- 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup dark brown sugar

- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup plain yogurt

- ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and toast walnuts until golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
- Line two baking sheets (can use the same one as the walnuts) with parchment paper.

- Add yogurt and egg and beat to combine.
- Add oat mixture and beat to combine.
- Fold in dates, banana chips, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
- Mound dough in ¼-cup scoops on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly to yield a bigger, flatter cookie as the dough will not spread much.
