"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

To toast nuts, spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake in a 350º oven for about 10 minutes.

To make cookies, preheat oven to 375º. Whisk together both flours, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Put butters and both sugars into separate bowl and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined. Reduce speed to low. Mix in banana. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chunks, and walnuts.

Using a 1 1/2 inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets about half way through, until golden brown and just set, 12-13 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.

Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 days or frozen.
