Breakfast Cookies Healthy 2 Ingredients

Super quick and easy to make, healthy 2-ingredient breakfast cookies (or banana cookies) took the internet by storm a few years ago and now they’re BACK! I posted these healthy breakfast cookies when I was just starting out on Instagram, with people all over the place going nuts for them because they come in at only 48 calories EACH!

BREAKFAST COOKIES

While our Best Fudgy Brownie Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies are undoubtedly delicious, they don’t exactly pass for a healthy, well-balanced breakfast. That’s why we’ve created cookies you can grab on-the-go when you don’t have time for breakfast.

Kid’s LOVE them in school lunch boxes and enjoy them as snacks ✔︎ Husband loves them (that’s the deal sealer) ✔︎ Mother’s NEED them as emergency breakfast-on-the-go ✔︎

The reason I’m calling them breakfast cookies is because that’s what they’ve become in my house of chaos. Move over cereal. Breakfast cookies are the ultimate transportable breakfast cereal slash porridge slash oatmeal without a bowl. I can’t tell you how many times these cookies have saved us during the typical morning chaos. Running late for school runs while spilling hot coffee all over my pants. Arguing with kids while unloading and loading (or cramming) the dishwasher. Last minute uniform ironing followed by an emergency evacuation with kids in tow which almost always ends in manic driving. All by 8:30am, leaving no time to eat breakfast in between. I need a drink… I mean, a coffee. The struggle is real.

HOW TO MAKE BREAKFAST COOKIES

It kind of feels unnecessary writing out an entire post for these breakfast cookies when they’re so damn good, however, a few followers have asked for printable versions of the recipe. So, I took step-by-steps to show how easy these are to make.

ADDITIONS

Once you’ve made the base (2 bananas, 1 ¾ cup quick oats), you can add anything you like. I love chocolate chips (um, no surprises), peanut flour (or any nut butter you have), ground cinnamon and I LOVE adding honey. It makes them super moist in the middle, adding an epic soft-chewiness. BUT! You don’t have to. Because who am I to tell you what to do? Exactly.

TIPS

If you haven’t made breakfast cookies before, it’s important to note that they don’t spread and shape themselves into normal cookie shapes. How they’re placed on the cookie sheet is how they will come out. Flatten them down with the back of a metal spoon (or use your fingertips lightly dipped in a bit of water as the dough is a little sticky), and shape them into round cookies.

BREAKFAST COOKIES MEAL PREP

Once your breakfast cookies are baked, allow them to cool for a few minutes before eating them. They are hard to resist, but it is better than the 80 degree burns. Serve as you would breakfast. Dunk them in milk, coffee, milky tea, or hot chocolate. The world is your breakfast cookie. You’ll be making these weekly. Monthly. Ummmm. Daily. They are the perfect on-the-go meal prep cookie!
