Breakfast Cookies
These Breakfast Cookies blend mashed bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, and oats to form tender, soft cookies with a mild sweetness and hearty texture. They include oat flour and old-fashioned oats for chewiness, cinnamon for warmth, and optional additions like raisins and chocolate chips for bursts of flavor. The result is a filling cookie suitable for a quick breakfast or snack, with a moist interior and lightly crisp edges.
Ingredients
- 1 cup bananas 2 large bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup almond butter can use peanut butter, creamy
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup can use honey
- 1 egg can use a flax egg, large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup raisins can use dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
- sea salt for sprinkling on top, optional, flaky
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, nut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined. Stir in the oats, dried fruit, and chocolate chips, if using.
- Let the dough sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so the oats can soak into the mixture a little.
- Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 14 minutes or until they’re set, but still soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make oat flour by blending rolled oats for about 30 seconds until fine.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze cookies in containers for up to 3 months for longer storage.
