Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
These simple healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies are a go-to for busy mornings. They are soft, chewy, and use basic ingredients you likely have on hand.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Use Rolled Oats: Quick oats can work, but rolled oats give these cookies a better texture and more chew.
- Ripeness of Bananas: For the best natural sweetness and moisture, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots.
What You Need
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 12 cookies
How to Make It
Step 1: Mix Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas well. Add the rolled oats, applesauce, and any optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips. Stir everything together until it is well combined.
Step 2: Bake the Cookies
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool before eating.
📝 Final Note
You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.

Add a sunny touch to your breakfast with these healthy peach oatmeal cookies. They are soft, fruity, and perfect for grabbing on your way out the door.
Key Ingredients & Tips

What You Need
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup diced fresh or thawed peaches
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
⏱️ Time: 30 minutes🍽️ Yields: 14 cookies
How to Make It

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, rolled oats, diced peaches, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until you have a thick, uniform batter.
Step 2: Bake Until Golden
Spoon the cookie mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape them into individual cookies. Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden at the edges. Let them cool fully on a wire rack.
