Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Make sure you have 1 cup of mashed bananas.
- Add in the egg, runny nut butter (I love peanut butter), maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Mix in the quick oats, cinnamon, and salt until a batter is formed.
- Mix in the walnuts and chocolate chips, if desired. For a lower sugar option, skip the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scooper to portion out about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place the dough portions directly on the prepared baking sheets - no need to roll the dough with your hands! Space each cookie about 2 inches apart, but don’t worry the cookies won't spread much during baking. Lightly pat the tops of the cooking down.
- Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until the bottoms are very lightly browned.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy your easy and delicious banana bread breakfast cookies!
Notes
- Light Flatten the Cookies: These cookies do not have baking soda or baking powder so that they won't spread. I recommend slightly tapping the tops to achieve a "cookie shape." Do not flatten them; they should be at least one inch thick.
- Mix-Ins: I left a whole section above with all the options from coconut to trail mix. As a rule of thumb, add a maximum of ⅔ cup of mix-ins to these breakfast cookies. This means, for example, that you can do ⅓ cup of walnuts and ⅓ cup of dried fruit. You pick the mix-in but keep to those measurements.
- Egg Replacement (Vegan): Substitute 1 egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) for a vegan option.
- Quick Oats vs. Rolled Oats: Quick oats work well for a smoother texture, but feel free to use old-fashioned oats if you prefer a chewier consistency.
- Storing: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 5 months.
- Freezing: Freeze these banana bread breakfast cookies by placing them in a single layer on a sheet, then transfer them to a sealed freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
