Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
Whisk together flours, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars with an electric hand mixer on medium until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add egg & vanilla; mix until combined. Mix in banana. Add flour mixture; mix just until combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chips and walnuts.
Drop dough by heaping tablespoonful onto prepared baking sheets (or use a cookie scoop), spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies until golden brown and just set, 12 to 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.
**To toast walnuts, spread on a baking sheet and toast briefly (3-5 min) in a 375 degree oven. Watch closely - they'll turn into burned walnuts pretty quickly.
