Ingredients for banana oatmeal breakfast cookies:

Bananas. The star of the show! Make sure the bananas are super ripe and spotty. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the cookies will be!

Eggs. Just two! If you don’t like eggs you can try flax eggs or your favorite egg substitute!

Peanut Butter. I love natural peanut butter but any nut or seed butter will work here!

Agave Nectar. You can also use honey or maple syrup.

Almond Flour. I always use blanched almond flour but you can sub in oat flour or cashew flour if you can’t do almonds!

Oats. Gives these breakfast cookies some hearty texture!

Baking Powder. To fluff these cookies up!

Salt. Just a bit!

Chocolate Chips. These are optional but who doesn’t love eating chocolate chip cookies for breakfast!? I’m giving you some fun variations and alternatives down below – keep scrolling!

How to make peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies:

Mash. Mash your bananas in a large bowl.

Mix. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix together. Then fold in your oats and chocolate chips.

Scoop. Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scooper to scoop out the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake. Pop them in the oven and bake them up!

How to store breakfast cookies:

Keep them in an airtight container in your pantry for about three days. Put them in the fridge for a week.

These cookies can be wrapped individually and frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or in the oven to your desired temp.

Breakfast cookie variations and add-ins:

Berries: It may be fun to fold in blueberries, cut up strawberries or raspberries!

Spice: Bump up the spice with some cinnamon and ginger.

Trail mix: Fold in some dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, M&Ms and peanuts.

      Aw bummer they were a little dry! Maybe you need some riper/juicier bananas? Or your oven could be hotter than mine so just bake them for less next time. Thanks for the comment! xo
