Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor.
  • For softer cookies, do not overbake.
  • You can use other types of nuts, such as pecans, if you prefer.
  • If you don’t have caramel chips, you can use toffee bits.
  • Storing leftovers: keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
