    These 4 ingredient breakfast cookies are so delicious, easy to recreate and perfect for the whole family, especially your toddlers! They’re a great source of fiber and can be paired with a protein source such as greek yogurt or scrambled eggs for a balanced and healthy breakfast that will keep you full for hours!

    This is a top view of my delicious 4 ingredient breakfast cookies in a shallow bowl.

    If you enjoy this recipe, you will love my cottage cheese strawberry muffins, birthday cake pancake bowl, berry chia pudding, or gluten-free spinach banana pancakes. You will also love my Healthier McGriddle Bites.

    Ingredients

    This is a top view of my delicious 4 ingredient breakfast cookies in a shallow bowl with some scrambled eggs for extra protein
    • Ripe Bananas, Mashed  
    • Peanut Butter: You can substitute this for any other nut butter or seed butter as needed.
    • Quick Oats: You can use regular oats if you don’t have any quick oats but quick oats are preferred.
    • Chocolate Chips: Mini Chocolate Chips are preferred but I was out so I used regular chocolate chips which will work well too! Choose Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate.
    • Optional: Chia Seeds: These add additional fiber and nutrients but are not 100% necessary although I do recommend them!

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375 F and set your rack to the middle position.
    2. In a small bowl, add in your peeled and mashed ripe bananas, peanut butter, quick oats, chocolate chips and chia seeds. Mix until everything is well combined.
    3. Use a medium cookie scoop to evenly distribute the mixture into 12 balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet (for easier clean up) or an oil sprayed non-stick baking sheet. Use a fork to mash down each ball into a flat, small cookie.
    4. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until your cookies appear cooked through and your chocolate is melted. Let cool for a couple of minutes and enjoy!

    Substitutions

    • Nut-Free: Use a seed butter instead of a nut butter to make this recipe nut-free.
    • Gluten-Free: Make sure your quick oats are gluten-free certified to make these breakfast cookies gluten-free.
    • Dairy-Free/Vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate chips to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan.

    This recipe is already vegetarian and egg-free. This recipe is toddler and kid friendly!

    Equipment

    All you need to make these 4 ingredient breakfast cookies is:

    • Baking Sheet
    • Fork
    • Medium Bowl
    • Medium Cookie Scoop

      Could you use old fashioned oats?

        I think this would work but I’d add another 1-2 tbs of peanut butter just to help with moisture!
