Healthy Banana Breakfast Cookies are the best way to start your day. They're easy to make & packed with simple ingredients, healthy fats + protein.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 20 cookies
Calories: 54kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup banana mashed (approx 3 medium bananas)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten free if necessary
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons collagen peptides optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a lined baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking sheet.
  • Mash bananas until smooth. Add bananas to a mixing bowl and stir in coconut oil and egg until combined
  • Add all remaining ingredients together in a large bowl + allow it to sit for 5 minutes (the chia seeds will start to bind + make the batter thick)
  • Scoop 1 tablespoons of dough and form into shape of a cookie. Make sure to press the cookies down flat. (Because these cookies do not have any baking powder/soda or flour, they do not rise or expand. The cookies will stay whatever shape you bake them at)
  • Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are a light brown on the edges.
  • Allow cookies to cool + store in an airtight container in refrigerator.

Notes

Substitutions for this banana breakfast cookies recipe:
  • Collagen- You can omit the collagen peptides from this recipe if you'd like. They add a little bit more protein so I always add them in. I haven't tried substituting protein powder for the collagen peptides but that might also work.
  • Oil - You can use olive or avocado oil in place of coconut oil
  • Chocolate chips - You can omit chocolate chips and add in dried fruit or nuts if you'd prefer
  • Banana - You can substitute banana with pumpkin puree or applesauce.
  • Quick cook oats: I haven't tried this recipe with quick cook oats but I think it would work!
