Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until a cohesive mixture forms.
- Shape cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each spoonful to form cookie shapes of even thickness for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Cooling: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes; then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to maintain their texture.
- Serve and store: Enjoy your banana blueberry breakfast cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week to preserve freshness and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute blueberries with other fresh or dried fruits like raspberries or raisins for variety.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or seeds.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Make sure bananas are ripe to maximize sweetness without added sugar.
- These cookies freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
