One-Bowl Breakfast Cookies Recipe
Description
The One-Bowl Breakfast Cookies Recipe features rolled oats, a mix of dried fruit and coconut flakes, and a cinnamon-spiced batter blended with peanut butter, mashed banana, honey, and eggs. Baking at 325°F results in cookies with soft edges and a chewy interior, as they don't crisp up like traditional cookies. The banana and peanut butter provide moisture and richness, combining with the natural sugars of honey and dried fruit to create a balanced sweetness. This cookie is convenient for breakfast, portable and satisfying without being overly dense.
These cookies work well served with a cup of tea or coffee. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or refrigerated to maintain freshness for up to four days. The gentle baking temperature helps preserve the soft texture and tender crumb.
To adjust the recipe or replace banana, alternatives like applesauce or various purees can be used to match the moisture and binding properties without changing the texture significantly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats 6 oz / 170 g
- ½ cup dried fruit finely diced, 2½ oz / 71 g
- ½ cup coconut flakes dried, unsweetened, 1½ oz / 43 g
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) peanut butter
- ½ cup banana mashed, about 1 medium, 4 oz / 115 g
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 egg room temperature, large
Notes
- If substituting banana, gradually add alternatives such as applesauce, pumpkin or prune puree, date puree, mashed sweet potatoes, avocado, different yogurts, sour cream, silken tofu, nut butter, or syrup to achieve similar dough consistency.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days to maintain softness.
- Take care not to overbake to prevent the cookies from drying out, as they are meant to remain soft.
