Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Mash ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, creating a natural sweet base for the cookies.
- Whisk eggs into the mashed bananas, then incorporate honey, almond butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix all dry ingredients: flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold rolled oats into the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Carefully incorporate fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them while mixing.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges turn golden brown and cookies feel firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling, which helps maintain their crisp exterior and soft interior.
Notes
- Choose extra ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum natural sweetness and moisture in your breakfast cookies.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or oat flour to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for varied flavor profiles.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze for up to one month to extend freshness.
