These soft and chewy breakfast cookies are made with wholesome ingredients like oats, bananas, and nut butter. They’re a naturally sweetened, grab-and-go breakfast or snack that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Add nut butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  4. Mix in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and optional chia or flaxseeds.
  5. Fold in any mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.
  6. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Scoop dough onto the baking sheet and flatten each slightly.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and set.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup based on taste.
  • Store in the fridge or freezer for longer freshness.
