Make these easy, healthy breakfast cookies with oats, peanut butter, and banana. They are perfect for grab-and-go mornings and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix the peanut butter, mashed banana, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if you are using them.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 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.
  8. Store your grab and go breakfast cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • For a gluten free breakfast cookie option, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten free all-purpose blend.
  • You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.
  • These protein packed cookies are great for quick morning meals when you need sustained energy.
