Cookies for breakfast? Yes please! I am always searching for ways to have breakfast on weekday mornings. Most mornings I fail at this but these oatmeal raisin breakfast cookies give me the ability to succeed. Yay for success!
The great thing about these breakfast cookies is that they are easy to make, they come together quickly, and they have no added sugar. OMG! No sugar in a cookie? Have I gone mad?!? I think so. Now when anyone tries to give me any slack about cookies for breakfast, I tell them to shove it because these cookies here are healthy.
And if you’re into healthy breakfast, check out my banana oatmeal pancakes or my winter fruit salad.
Here are the recipe deets.
How to make Banana Oatmeal Cookies
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and gather your ingredients. Prepare a baking sheet by laying out some parchment paper on it.
Next, mash 2 medium-sized ripe bananas in a bowl until they look like mush.
Next, add 2 cups of old-fashion oatmeal, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Then add 1/3 cup raisins and 1/4 cup white chocolate morsels and stir to combine.
Next, use a cookie scooper or a tablespoon and place the mixture on the parchment-lined baking sheet by the spoonful about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon or your fingertips to flatten each spoonful until it resembles a cookie. These cookies won’t spread on their own, so flattening them must be done for them to look like a cookie when done baking.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden. Your house will smell delicious. Once done baking, remove and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
Then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Enjoy:)
