Make these easy, grab-and-go oatmeal breakfast cookies. They are wholesome, naturally sweetened, and perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the banana completely. Stir in the applesauce and maple syrup or honey until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in your chosen mix-ins.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into thick cookies. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These are great for meal prep breakfast cookies.
