Make these easy breakfast cookies for a quick, grab-and-go morning meal. They use wholesome ingredients like oats and peanut butter for sustained energy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 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, combine the mashed bananas and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Stir in the honey or maple syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well.
  4. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips, if using. The mixture will be thick.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the breakfast cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a protein-packed version, add 1/4 cup of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • These cookies are excellent for make-ahead breakfast preparation and keep well for up to one week.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the honey or maple syrup by two tablespoons.
