Make these thick and chewy breakfast cookies for a wholesome, grab and go breakfast. They are freezer friendly and perfect for meal prep on busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed banana, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Whisk in the egg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Press down slightly to flatten them into thick discs.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. For thicker cookies, bake closer to 15 minutes.
  8. Let the breakfast cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For freezer friendly breakfast storage, cool the cookies completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They keep well for up to three months.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, slightly underbake them by one minute.
  • You can substitute raisins or chopped nuts for half of the chocolate chips for variety.
