Make these soft and chewy breakfast cookies for a simple, grab-and-go meal prep solution. They use wholesome ingredients like oats and seeds to keep you full all morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (e.g., raisins, chopped walnuts, or dark chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds. Mix them well.
  3. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: mashed banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in your chosen mix-ins, like nuts or dried fruit.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten the tops slightly with the back of a spoon.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. They will firm up as they cool.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store your finished breakfast cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter.
  • These cookies are excellent for meal prep; bake a large batch on Sunday to cover your busy mornings.
  • If your dough seems too dry, add one tablespoon of water or milk until it holds together when pressed.
