These make-ahead breakfast cookies really come in handy during morning rush hours. These are very easy and quick to make.  I doubt anything can go wrong with this recipe, even if you are not an avid baker.

There are four main ingredients in this cookie recipe, that forms the base.  Once the base is ready, you can add pretty much any topping to it. To make the cookie base you need Oatmeal, Banana, Honey/Maple Syrup, and any nut butter.

Cookie Base: Rolled Oats+Banana+Honey(Maple Syrup) + Nut Butter

Nuts: Almonds, Pecan, Walnut

Seed: Flaxseed, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Chia Seeds, Hemp Seeds,

Other ingredients like Chocolate chips, dried fruits, raisins, dried berries.

Banana, Maple Syrup, and Nut Butter act as binding agents in these cookies. After the Cookie dough is made, if it is holding together and is sticky that means the dough is of the right consistency. There is no fear of the cookie falling apart once baked.

Another trick that works for me is putting rolled oats in a food processor and give it a couple of pulses. Breaking whole rolled oats requires less amount of a binding agent. And breaking down the whole oats also make it easier to chew, especially for my little one.

Shaping these Healthy Breakfast cookies is not that difficult. Like shaping any other cookie, use a small ice cream scoop to make even portions. Drop it on a cookie tray. Then using a slightly wet hand press the cookies to the desired thickness.

These cookies don’t spread at all after cooking, unlike regular cookies. So you need to press it to the desired thickness before baking.

Can these healthy oatmeal cookies be frozen?

Absolutely! You can freeze them after they are baked. Make sure to separate the cookies with a small piece of parchment paper while stacking, else it might stick together.

If you want to freeze them unbaked, then line the cookie tray, shape the cookies, and place them in the freezer. Once they are hard, stack them and keep them in freezer-safe Ziplock bags.

Servings 20 Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Ripe Banana

  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 1 tspn Vanilla Extract
  • 1.5 cup Rolled Oats

  • 2 tbsp raisin

Instructions

  • Take a big mixing bowl. Smash the ripe bananas using a fork until there are no big lumps. 
  • Add peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, flax meal to a pureed banana.
  • Put rolled oats into a food processor and pulse a couple of times to break the grains in half. We don't need very fine texture here. (This step is optional and can be skipped)
  • Add rolled oats, nuts, seeds, raisins to the banana mixture. Using a spatula mix everything well. Let it rest while you preheat the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. 
  • Using a small ice cream scoop take portions of the dough and place it in a baking tray. 
  • With a slightly wet hand press the dough to the desired thickness. 
  • Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes. 
  • At the end of baking time, the edges would have been crispy but it will feel soft at the center. But it will harden up once cooled down.

Notes

  • Because the nut butter was unsweetened, I have used honey. If you are using sweetened nut butter then skip the honey. 
  • if you feel the center of the cookies very soft at the end of baking, try baking it for 5 more minutes.

  1. Any substitute for banana so the shelf life will be more and carry during travelling.

    1. Subhasmita says:

      It can be substituted with more hiney and peanut butter. But, I can’t really tell the exact measurements, without trying.

  2. I have started adding protein powder to the batter and they taste great and add a boost of protein. Because I use bananas that were previously frozen they are more liquidy so the powder bulks it up and makes them less runny.

    1. subhasmita says:

      Protein powder is a great addition. I need to give it a try.

  3. Is it 79 calories per cookie?

  4. 5 stars
    Absolutely love this recipe but I have found that only 20 mins is enough in the oven otherwise they take on a slightly burnt tase. Works brilliant with Cranberries instead of Raisins.

    1. subhasmita says:

      Glad that you liked the recipe. The baking time might vary a little depending on the oven temperature. Cranberry is a lovely idea, will definitely give it a try.
