Start your busy mornings right with these easy, healthy breakfast cookies. They combine oats, peanut butter, and banana for a satisfying, grab-and-go meal packed with protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the egg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, make sure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • These are excellent for meal prep; store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
  • If you prefer a lower sugar cookie, reduce the maple syrup to 1/3 cup and add 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce.
