    About These Breakfast Cookies:

    These breakfast cookies are easy to make and customize with your favorite add-ins. The cookie dough is made from a simple combination of oats, bananas and peanut butter. Once baked, these cookies are chewy, delicious and satisfying.

    It's also recommended to customize these cookies with your choice of add-ins! Mix in chocolate chips, nuts, maple syrup, raisins, or dried cranberries for added flavor.

    Ingredients:

    The full recipe is at the bottom of this page, but here's a quick overview of what you'll need & how to make it:

    • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats 
    • 3 overripe (or ripe) bananas
    • ½ cup peanut butter (or any nut butter) 

    Optional add ins: 

    • ¼ - ½ cup chocolate chips 
    • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

    How to Make Healthy Breakfast Cookies:

    Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Line a Baking Sheet

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

    Step 2: Mash the Bananas

    In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher. 

    Step 3: Make the Dough

    Stir the oats and peanut butter into the bananas until combined. Mix well. Optionally, stir in chocolate chips and maple syrup for sweetness.

    Step 4: Form Dough into Cookies

    Before working with the dough, wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking. Use a spoon or large cookie scoop to portion out 8 balls of dough. Use your hands to flatten the dough into round cookies about ½ inch tall.

    Step 5: Bake

    Place the cookies on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 - 15 minutes, until lightly browned.

    NOTE: The cookies won't spread much as they cook in the oven. You can place them close together (but not touching) on the baking sheet.

    Step 6: Cool & Enjoy!

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 - 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack (or a plate) to cool completely.

    Tips & Tricks for These Breakfast Cookies:

    • Wet your hands before working with the dough. The dough is sticky and wetting your hands will help keep it from sticking to your fingers.
    • As the cookies cool they become more firm. Let the cookies cool 10 - 15 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack or separate plate (if you try to move them immediately they could break).
    • Experiment with add ins! The base of 3 ingredients for these cookies is super versatile. Add your choice of ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts or seeds to add variety. I'd also highly recommend adding 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for sweetness.
