Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

by Leslie Eats Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Oatmeal breakfast cookies are a quick and easy way to start your day! These cookies are vegan and only made with 4 ingredients. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast on the go or a tasty snack to fuel your day, these super soft oatmeal breakfast cookies are sure to hit the spot.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS

  • They are easy to prepare and only take about 12 minutes to bake.
  • You can use any combination of nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate mixed in with these cookies.
  • The combination of oats, chocolate, and fruit creates a flavorful and satisfying cookie that you’ll love.
  • Oats are a good source of fiber and will keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning.

INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS

Oats – These add a chewy texture and a nutty flavor to the cookies. My favorite oats are rolled oats from the Whole Foods 365 brand.

Bananas – bananas add a natural sweetness and a soft, moist texture to the cookies. 

Almond butter – you can use any favorite nut butter for this recipe. My go-to is Justin’s cinnamon almond butter.

Semi-sweet chocolate chips – arguably the best ingredient of all, the chips! Feel free to use any type of chocolate chips you have in your pantry.

LET’S BAKE

STEP 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP 2:

In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the oats and almond butter, and mix until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

STEP 3:

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. 

STEP 4:

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be soft and do not get crispy on the edges. Enjoy!

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

  • The riper the bananas, the better! If you don’t have any overripe bananas on hand, you can also use frozen bananas that have been thawed.

  • These cookies are highly customizable, so feel free to mix in any other ingredients. Try adding nuts, raisins, or any other types of chocolate.

  • I use this cookie scoop for all my cookie recipes, and it’s a lifesaver. It makes it super easy to portion out the cookie dough and ensures that all the cookies are evenly sized.

  •  These cookies are best eaten the same day they are baked, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH

  • These oatmeal breakfast cookies are great on their own and even better heated up in the microwave.
  • Pair this with your morning coffee or matcha!
