Chocolate Chunk Banana Walnut Breakfast Cookies
Chelsea Colbath
These simple, healthy breakfast cookies taste like a cross between banana bread, baked oatmeal, and a walnut chocolate chunk cookie, and are made in 1-bowl with minimal ingredients.
TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes mins
- 2 large very ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Put bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork til well combined. You can also do this with a potato masher, if that's easier for you to mash with.
3. Add all remaining ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula til fully combined. Use a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup to scoop batter onto lined pan. I got 8 large cookies with a spoonful of extra batter that I dolloped onto a few of the smaller looking cookies. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until just golden brown and cooked through. Cool completely, then store at room temperature for 3-5 days. For longer storage, these can be kept in the fridge for up to a week, or the freezer for at least 3 weeks.
