Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Healthy breakfast cookies are a great way to begin your day.
They are jam packed with the goodness of bananas, peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, coconut flakes, ground flax, chia seeds and hemp hearts. A whole lot of hearty, healthy, deliciousness in one little cookie.
If you are like me, you crave a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. I will often make a yogurt and berries parfait, or grab a slice of Strawberry Banana Bread from the freezer. But when I want a snack that really satisfies my hungry tummy, I choose one of these yummy peanut butter breakfast cookies.

Power-Packed Breakfast Bites
Energy-Boosting Essentials
- The main ingredient in these breakfast cookies is oatmeal. Oatmeal is a great source of fibre, vitamins and minerals.
- The hemp, flax and chia seeds are great sources of healthy fats, along with a world of other health benefits.
- Peanut butter is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals and may help manage blood sugar.
How do you make Healthy Breakfast Cookies?
- Assemble your ingredients. Preheat oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash bananas, add peanut butter, honey and butter.
- Combine the remaining ingredients. Then add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix.
- Drop by spoonful onto baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes.
What mix-in’s could you add to these breakfast cookies?
- An obvious addition is of course nuts! Pecans, almonds, walnuts – whatever you love.
- Use coconut oil in place of the butter, or use half oil and half butter.
- Raisins, or other dried fruit, would be a terrific addition.
- And of course, it goes without saying – add chocolate chips if you want.
How should you store these Healthy Breakfast Cookies?
Cool the cookies on a rack, then store in an airtight container. You can keep them stored this way on your counter for a couple of days, just like any other regular cookie.
Any longer than a couple days and I would move them to the refrigerator or freezer. These cookies will stay in the fridge or about 4-5 days and in the freezer for about 3 months.
