Healthy 2-Ingredient Breakfast Cookies! No flour. No oil, butter, refined sugars, fat, eggs OR dairy.
Weight Watchers (or low fat and diet friendly) and super quick and easy to make, these no-guilt, healthy 2-ingredient breakfast cookies (or banana cookies) took the internet by storm a few years ago. I posted these ones when I was just starting out on Instagram with people all over the place going NUTS making them. They’re only 48 calories EACH!
The best part about these Breakfast Cookies:
- Kids 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 locos. Move over cereal. These cookies are like → transportable breakfast cereal *slash* porridge *slash* oatmeal without a bowl (well, depending on where you’re from in the world). I can’t tell you how many times these cookies have saved my hungry bee-hind mid morning rush. The chaos of school runs: running late while spilling hot coffee all over my pants, arguing with kids, unloading and loading (or cramming) the dishwasher, last minute uniform ironing, followed by the 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. Mother’s unite.
How To Make Healthy Breakfast Cookies
- Mash bananas together with quick oats
- Add in anything else you like
- Bake.
- Eat.
It’s kind of unfair to write out a whole post on these when they’re not really a recipe. 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.
Once you’ve made the base (2 bananas, 1 3/4 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 more 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.
Important note:
If you haven’t made these 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.
Once they’re baked, allow them to cool for a few minutes before eating them. They are hard to resist, but it IS better than the alternate 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.
