These easy Breakfast Cookies made with peanut butter and banana are the perfect healthy start to your mornings! So simple to make, healthy, high in protein, gluten-free, sugar-free, and ideal for kids.
Healthy Breakfast Cookies are perfect for start to the day on the go. Espesically when time is tight and the chances of breakfast are slipping away.
BUT have you seen how expensive shop-bought breakfast biscuits are?! They are also often highly processed with lots of additives and sugar.
Here’s my solution. I love how simple these cookies are to make and the fact that I know exactly what’s gone into them. Ingredients are cheap and they taste amazing. All round winner.
They’re made using very ripe (in fact, the blacker the better) bananas, oats, peanut butter, cinnamon and chocolate chips are optional. This is a no-flour recipe, which means these are gluten-free Breakfast Cookies, (if you use GF oats) and there’s no refined sugar (you can also omit the honey if you prefer). I hope you enjoy your start to the day with these with a nice cuppa… perfect!

FAQs about this Breakfast Cookies Recipe
How do you make Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies?
Throw everything in a bowl and mush up (technical term). Scoop out a portion onto a baking paper-lined baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. I like to use an ice-cream scoop to spoon the mixture into eight neat bundles. You don’t necessarily need it but it’s helpful. Bake until golden-topped and cooked through. Done.
Do I need old bananas for this recipe?
The bananas need to be very ripe. Did you know that ripe bananas have so much more natural sweetness than very yellow bananas? When we have bananas left uneaten I just pop them in the freezer for whenever I need a ripe banana, which is great for reducing food waste.
How many Breakfast Cookies does this recipe make?
This recipe makes eight BIG cookies. They’ll be good the next day if stored in an airtight container. If they are a little dry, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds to refresh them.
Can I freeze the cookies?
If you want a bigger batch of cookies, you could freeze the baked cookies and take them out to defrost the night before you’ll eat them, which is so handy for busy mornings.
