Start your day right with these easy, healthy breakfast cookies. They use wholesome ingredients like oats and peanut butter, making them a perfect grab-and-go option for quick morning meals and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed well
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, flax seeds, or chopped nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until fully mixed.
  4. Add the rolled oats and your chosen mix-ins to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten the tops slightly with a fork.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a protein-packed cookie, add 1/4 cup of your favorite protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, making them great for meal prep breakfast ideas.
  • If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the honey or maple syrup to 1/3 cup.
