Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

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 bananas, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips, if using. The dough will be thick.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
  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.
  8. Store your make ahead breakfast cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a gluten free breakfast cookies option, use certified gluten-free oats.
  • You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
  • These are excellent for meal prep breakfast ideas; they keep well for up to one week.
