These soft, chewy breakfast cookies are packed with fiber from oats, whole wheat flour, and flaxseed, naturally sweetened with ripe bananas. Perfect for busy mornings, they’re a kid-approved treat that fuels the whole family.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins of your choice (chocolate chips, dried fruit, chopped nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Mash the bananas in your large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats and your chosen mix-ins using a gentle folding motion.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, forming balls about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Gently flatten each cookie ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers look set but still soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. The cookies taste even better the day after baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
