Description
Quick & Healthy Breakfast Cookies are soft, chewy, and made with wholesome pantry staples like oats, banana, and nut butter. They are perfect for meal prep, easy to grab on busy mornings, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat while still being satisfying enough for breakfast.
Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
3. Stir in the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined.
4. Add the oats, baking powder, and salt, then mix until everything is evenly coated.
5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and dried fruit.
6. Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each cookie.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
Flatten the cookies before baking since they will not spread much in the oven.
Store them in the fridge for a firmer texture or freeze them for longer meal prep.
