Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additions

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork until smooth. Add honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all wet components are fully combined.
  4. Combine & fold: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chunks to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Shape cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to encourage even baking and cookie shape.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies turn a golden brown and are set.
  7. Cool & serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy these wholesome breakfast cookies fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup and use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Adding nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans can add extra crunch and protein.
  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.
