Vegan banana breakfast cookies are packed with fiber and will power you through your morning! Healthy, gluten free and naturally sweet.
You guys need to know something about me…I LOVE breakfast.
Whether it’s my go to oatmeal breakfast bowl, or something more indulgent and special on the weekend, breakfast is never skipped in this household, and it definitely plays a big role in how productive and motivated I am to get my work done during the day. I have energy, and my mental energy is so impacted by what I eat, and a healthy breakfast always helps me stay focused and feeling amazing.
I’ve been really excited to share this recipe with you because these cookies are super simple, healthy, perfect for meal prep before a busy week, and delicious, of course.
Ingredients for vegan banana breakfast cookies
- Rolled oats: you’ll leave some of the oats whole for great chewy texture and blend some to flour consistency, which helps hold the cookies together.
- Cinnamon: cinnamon is such a great combo with the sweet banana.
- Ground flaxseed: you’ll make flax eggs, which provide great nutrition and help hold the cookies together.
- Banana: as usual when baking with bananas, make sure they’re really ripe and spotty for optimal flavor and sweetness, since they’re the only sweetener in the cookies.
Tips for making vegan banana breakfast cookies
- Have fun with the mix-ins. These breakfast cookies are super fun to customize with your favorite flavors and textures, so feel free to use whatever mix-in ingredients you like! I love chocolate chips nuts, and raisins. You can even vary the mix-ins in the same batch.
- Let the cookies cool after baking. Let the cookies cool and firm up for 15 minutes after baking before carefully removing them from the pan.
These vegan banana breakfast cookies are chewy, sweet, and full of crunchy, chewy add ins. They’ll keep you full and satisfied all morning, and give you energy to dominate your day! Plus, how the heck can one have a bad day after eating cookies for breakfast?! I just don’t think that’s possible.
