Healthy Breakfast Cookies are a perfect for start to the day when you’re on the go. Especially when time is tight and the chances of breakfast are slipping away. BUT have you seen how expensive shop-bought breakfast biscuits are?! They are also often highly processed with lots of additives and sugar. Here’s my solution. I love how simple these banana oat cookies are to make and the fact that I know exactly what’s gone into them. Ingredients are cheap and they taste amazing. All round winner. They’re made using very ripe (in fact, the blacker the better) bananas, oats, peanut butter, cinnamon and chocolate chips are optional. This is a no-flour recipe, which means these are gluten-free Breakfast Cookies, (if you use GF oats) and there’s no refined sugar (you can also omit the honey if you prefer). I hope you enjoy these to start your day with a nice cuppa, or put them in your kids’ hands as they run out the door to school… perfect!

Breakfast Cookies Ingredients notes
Bananas – These need to be very ripe for mashing, NOT firm or green at all. The banana skins should be very speckled, or (ideally) almost totally brown or black on the skins. Think ‘past their best’ as a piece of fruit for snacking on Chocolate chips – You can leave these out if you prefer, but they do add a bit of deliciousness
In the freezer If you want a bigger batch of cookies, you could freeze the baked cookies and take them out to defrost the night before you’ll eat them, which is so handy for busy mornings. When we have bananas left uneaten I just pop them in the freezer for whenever I need a ripe banana, which is great for reducing food waste.
