Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, natural peanut or almond butter, pure maple syrup, egg (or flax egg for vegan), and pure vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add the oat flour, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and kosher salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Then fold in the old fashioned oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and walnuts if using. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
Using a large cookie scoop, portion about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie for a pretty finish.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your nutritious breakfast cookies!
