Healthy Breakfast Cookies 4 Ingredients No Added Sugar

I have a passion for simple and healthy breakfast cookies, like my Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies or Vegan Breakfast Cookies but today I wanted to make even simpler and healthier breakfast cookies, loaded with fiber, protein, and vitamins. These healthy breakfast cookies are super simple to whip up and everyone will love them!

Ingredients and Substitutions

You need only 4 base ingredients for these delicious cookies, but I’ve included before add-ins that make them even more delicious!

Banana – Use overripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness. If bananas aren’t available, you can use pumpkin puree or applesauce, though the texture will vary slightly. Rolled Oats – Choose gluten-free oats if needed. Quick oats can also work for a finer texture, though rolled oats provide more chew. Flaxmeal – This adds fiber and helps bind the dough. If unavailable, try chia seed meal in a 1:1 ratio. Peanut Butter – Ensure it’s smooth and runny. For allergies, swap with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini.

You can also add optional ingredients to change the taste and texture of your cookies.

Coconut Sugar – If your bananas are not ripe enough, it provides a natural sweetness. You can replace it with maple syrup or date sugar for a slightly different flavor. Vanilla Extract – You can add vanilla to add depth to the flavor. Cinnamon – A warming spice that complements the sweetness. Pumpkin pie spice or cardamom work well as alternatives. Chopped Nuts – You can add nut to give more crunch to the cookies. Use walnuts, almonds, pecans, or opt for seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. Chocolate Chips – Choose dairy-free dark chocolate chips or use chopped vegan chocolate bars for a chunkier bite.
