About these cookies
What’s better than a cookie that’s healthy enough to eat for breakfast, lunch or a snack?! These healthy banana oatmeal breakfast cookies include two fruits. They comes together in one bowl and are made with only 7 simple ingredients. My favorite way to eat them is warm right out of the oven with a glass of milk.
Kitchen essentials
- A mixing bowl
- A baking sheet
- A silicone mat. Recommended, but not necessary. The silicone mat makes oil-free cooking super clean and easy. If you don’t have one, I recommend lightly greasing your baking sheet.
Substitutions
- Medjool dates: can be substituted with chocolate chips or nuts like walnuts or pecans. I like to use dates for the added sweetness and fiber.
- Creamy peanut butter: can be substituted with equal amounts of nut or seed butter of your choice.

1/2 cup chopped medjool dates
1/4 tsp salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. If not using a silicone mat, lightly grease the baking sheet.
- Use a fork to mash bananas. Add mashed bananas to a bowl with the peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Then mix in the oats, dates and salt.
- Use a cookie scoop to transfer dough to your baking sheet. The cookies won’t flatten much, so press down on dough lightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to achieve a more flat cookie shape.
- Bake for 18 minutes and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- These cookies are best on the day of, but can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
