Banana Breakfast Cookies are a healthy, quick, and delicious option for a grab-and-go breakfast. Made with ripe bananas, oats, and optional mix-ins like nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, these cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with nutrients.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans) (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Add the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until everything is well combined.
  4. Stir in the oats, cinnamon, and salt. If you’re adding any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, or seeds, fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
  5. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon to form a cookie shape.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your healthy breakfast cookies!

Notes

Feel free to add extra ingredients like coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, or protein powder for an additional boost.To make these cookies vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based nut butter.If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup and rely on the natural sweetness of the bananas.Try other spices like nutmeg, ginger, or pumpkin pie spice for a different flavor profile.
