Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies: A Healthy Start to Your Day
These healthy, naturally sweetened Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies are perfect for a quick, nutritious breakfast or a snack on the go. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, they are as delicious as they are easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the ripe bananas until they are smooth with minimal lumps.
- Add rolled oats, blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each cookie apart to prevent them from sticking during baking. Flatten each spoonful slightly with the back of a spoon to shape the cookies.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
For added texture, you can mix in chopped nuts or seeds like walnuts or chia seeds. These cookies are also freezer-friendly—store them in an airtight container and thaw as needed for a quick snack.
