Banana Breakfast Cookies
Description
The cookies feature mashed bananas blended with quick oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, and chocolate chips if desired. Applesauce and milk add moisture, while cinnamon and vanilla contribute gentle spice and flavor. The mixture is shaped into cookies on parchment and baked until lightly browned.
The cookies hold a soft, moist texture due to the bananas and applesauce, resulting in tender bites suitable for breakfast or casual snacking. They do not spread significantly and maintain their shape when gently pressed before baking.
Storing the cookies in the refrigerator helps retain moisture and freshness, as their fruit content makes them prone to drying out at room temperature. Using a cookie scoop ensures consistent size and baking results.
Ingredients
- 3 medium banana mashed
- 2 cups oats quick cooking
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional, semi-sweet
- ⅓ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup milk or almond milk
- ¼ cup raisins
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined adding 1/8 teaspoons salt if desired.
- Place heaping tablespoons on a parchment lined pan and gently press with a fork.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Mash the bananas directly in the mixing bowl to reduce cleanup.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie size and even baking.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Gently press cookies with a fork before baking, as they don't spread much on their own.
- Store baked cookies in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain moisture due to the banana content.
