Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Sick of soggy cereal or that sad, lonely banana turning brown on your counter? Let’s turn breakfast boredom on its head with these wholesome, grab-and-go cookies that are basically a hug in edible form. They’re the perfect marriage of cozy oatmeal and sweet banana, baked into a portable treat that will make your morning routine infinitely more delicious.
Serving: 12 cookies | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 large, very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
– 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
– ¼ cup creamy almond butter
– 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
– ⅓ cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the very ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
3. Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, creamy almond butter, pure maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt to the bowl with the mashed banana.
4. Using a sturdy spatula, fold and stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined into a thick, cohesive dough. Tip: If the dough seems too wet, let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the moisture.
5. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon, portion the dough into 12 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. With slightly damp hands, gently flatten each mound into a disc about ½-inch thick. Tip: Damp hands prevent the sticky dough from clinging to your fingers.
8. Bake on the center rack for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden brown and the tops appear dry. Tip: For a chewier cookie, bake for the minimum time; for a crisper edge, bake for the full 16 minutes.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
What you get are delightfully soft, cake-like cookies with a subtle caramelized banana sweetness and pops of melted chocolate. They boast a wonderfully chewy texture from the oats and make for a fantastic on-the-run breakfast or an afternoon snack dunked in a cold glass of almond milk.

Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
– ½ cup pure maple syrup
– 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
– ½ cup almond flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
– ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter, ½ cup pure maple syrup, 1 large pasture-raised egg (lightly beaten), and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully emulsified, about 2 minutes.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt until evenly distributed.
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cookie texture.
5. Gently fold in ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
6. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 12 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Lightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a fork in a crisscross pattern to about ½-inch thickness, which helps them bake evenly and achieve that classic peanut butter cookie look.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set but still soft—a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, as this prevents them from breaking.
So, what’s the final verdict? These breakfast cookies boast a delightfully chewy texture from the oats, a rich nutty depth from the peanut butter, and pockets of melty chocolate that make every bite irresistible. Serve them warm with a glass of cold milk for a cozy start, or stash a few in your bag for an on-the-go energy boost that’s far superior to any store-bought snack.

Serving: 12 cookies | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 14 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
– ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend
– ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
– ½ cup packed dark brown sugar

– ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice blend, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to cream the room-temperature unsalted butter with the dark brown sugar for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Tip: Properly creaming the butter and sugar creates air pockets for a softer cookie.
4. To the butter mixture, add the pure maple syrup, lightly beaten pasture-raised egg, pumpkin purée, and pure vanilla extract; mix on low speed just until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
5. Gradually add the dry oat-flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a few dry streaks remain.
6. Using a silicone spatula, fold in the chopped pecans and dark chocolate chips until the dough is uniformly mixed, being careful not to overwork it. Tip: Folding in mix-ins by hand prevents a tough cookie texture.
7. Scoop 3-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart, and gently flatten each mound slightly with your palm.
8. Bake on the center rack for 13-14 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Tip: The cookies will firm up as they cool, so avoid over-baking for a chewy center.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Craving that first bite? These cookies bake up with a delightfully soft, cake-like interior thanks to the pumpkin purée, while the oats and pecans add a satisfying, hearty chew.

Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups raisin bran cereal
- ½ cup dark raisins
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened unsalted butter and packed dark brown sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Tip: Proper creaming incorporates air for a tender cookie.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the pure maple syrup, lightly beaten pasture-raised egg, and pure vanilla extract, mixing just until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
- Gradually add the dry oat-flour mixture to the wet ingredients with the mixer on low, mixing until no dry streaks remain, about 1 minute.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the raisin bran cereal, dark raisins, and chopped toasted walnuts using a silicone spatula until evenly distributed. Tip: Folding preserves the cereal’s texture.
- Using a #20 cookie scoop or 3 tablespoons of dough, portion the dough into 12 mounds, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each mound to a ¾-inch thickness with the bottom of a glass. Tip: Flattening ensures even baking and a chewy center.
- Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers appear soft.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before moving them directly to the rack to cool completely.
These cookies boast a delightfully chewy texture with crispy edges, thanks to the toasted walnuts and bran flakes. The warm cinnamon and deep molasses notes from the brown sugar perfectly complement the juicy raisins. Try crumbling one over Greek yogurt for a parfait or dunking it in cold milk for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
