Equipment

  • measuring cups and spoons
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • large bowl
  • fork
  • spoon
  • cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium bananas (the riper, the better)
  • 1 cup rolled (old-fashioned) oats
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant milk (I used soy, but almond and oat milk will also work)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup nondairy dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a fork, mash the bananas in a large bowl.
  • Add the rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add the peanut butter, plant milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until evenly combined. 
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter into 9 approximate circles on the prepared baking sheet. Don’t worry about making the breakfast cookies perfectly round—the homemade appearance adds to their appeal.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and rest it directly on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes. The breakfast cookies will still be somewhat soft when you remove them from the oven; they will firm up as they cool. 

Notes

  • Store breakfast cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days. After that, transfer the container to the fridge to store for up to 3 more days. Breakfast cookies may also be frozen for up to 1 month.
