    The great thing about breakfast banana cookies is that they’re made with real, wholesome ingredients and are super tasty. They’re full of protein and only two cookies will kick start your day on just the right note! They’re not traditional cookies – there’s no need to add flour, refined sugar or dairy.

    And it’s so easy to add your favourite extra ingredients and customise. Nuts are perfect. I've made breakfast cookies with almond butter, cranberry and pepitas. Below, I'll show you how to make oatmeal breakfast cookies with pecan nuts, peanut butter and seeds. Read on!

    Breakfast oatmeal cookies without peanut butter

    I’m a big fan of peanut butter. To be honest, I look for excuses to add it to recipes! Peanut butter functions to bind ingredients so it’s perfect for this recipe. If you’re not a huge fan of peanut butter though, no problem, sunflower seed butter and tahini are great nut-free alternatives.

    Other alternatives to peanut butter are almond butter, cashew butter or coconut butter. Flax seeds can also be used if you have a nut allergy.

    Breakfast oatmeal cookies without banana

    I often make cookies at night so they’re waiting for me for breakfast in the morning. But from time to time when I’ve wanted to make cookies for breakfast I’ve run out of banana. No problem, make them with applesauce, pumpkin puree, avocado or even sweet potato puree. They all work well.

    How to Make Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies

    This breakfast cookies recipe is super easy. It can be made in one bowl. Simply combine all the ingredients in order and bake for 10 minutes!

    Tips for the Best Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies

    Gluten-free oatmeal breakfast cookies

    Make sure that you use a certified gluten-free oatmeal. Other ingredients I use are all gluten-free.

    These banana oatmeal breakfast cookies are undetectably vegan. They are dairy-free and there’s no need to add eggs.

    How to store these breakfast cookies

    After they’ve completely cooled down, transfer them into an airtight container and you can keep them for four days at room temperature. You can save them in a ziploc ban in the freezer for one month. Reheat in the oven or microwave. Or thaw them at the room temperature for about an hour.

    Which oatmeal should you use for this recipe?

    I like the crunchy texture of rolled oats (old fashion oats). Instant oats can be used for this recipe but the texture has less crunchiness. The good thing is that you can reduce cooking time with instant oats. Quick oats are not recommended.
