I got into a discussion about creation and Genesis and we both got stuck on the following question. According to the Bible (et al), what age were Adam and Eve when they were created? As in, were they created as infants/pre-pubescent/ pubescent/ adult people?
According to Jewish tradition, they were created as adults. I don’t know what age, specifically.

I doubt you’re going to get a factual answer on this. First of all, it depends on which account you mean (there are two). Second, there is some controversy over whether Adam meant “a man”, “mankind”, or the pair together. I will say that most of the context strongly suggests that he was a mature man. Infants and pre-pubescent boys can’t reasonably be called on to “be fruitful and multiply”, for example, or “subdue the earth”.
