I love to make all kinds of cookies. I’m a constant baker, so there’s no single day where there’s not a cookie, bread, muffin tray, or cake cooking. I particularly love making simple, healthy oatmeal cookies for my breakfast, like my Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies, Coconut Flour Oatmeal Cookies, or Sweet Potato Oatmeal Cookies. But sometimes, I just want a quick fix, an oatmeal cookie for one, a single-serving breakfast cookie. I don’t always want to make a whole batch and take all that time for many cookies. So I make a giant cookie just for me. That’s what Single-Serve Oatmeal Cookies are for! Fixing a morning cookie craving in under 15 minutes. A single-serve cookie is a cookie recipe for one person. It’s cookie dough cooked quickly in the oven or air fryer to deliver a nice cookie in just a few minutes. It’s the perfect recipe for protein control and fixing your sweet tooth with nourishing ingredients.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Oatmeal banana lovers, this one-serve banana cookie recipe is for you! All you need to make this large soft oatmeal banana cookie recipe are 4 basic ingredients:
Ripe Banana – The recipe contains no added sugar, so the riper, the sweeter the cookie will be. If you use greenish bananas, the cookies will be a bit bland. My preference is to go for yellow bananas with plenty of black spots. This makes a perfectly balanced cookie. Peanut Butter or almond butter. You can also use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option, but it might turn the cookie a bit green. Rolled Oats or quick oats – it depends on the texture you prefer in cookies. Quick oats make the cookie softer, while rolled oats add more chew and texture. Protein Powder or oat flour – plant-based protein powder adds a great texture to the cookies. You can replace it with oat flour or almond flour. If you skip it, the cookie recipe still works, but it will be very soft, and better to eat on a plate.
Optional Add-on And Flavors
You can add any of the below ingredients to boost the cookie flavor and texture:
Chocolate Chips – Add 1-2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Oat Raisin Flavor – 1-2 tablespoons of dried raisins and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Nutty Oatmeal Cookie – 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans. Coconut Cookie – 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut. Berry Oat Flavor – Fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries.
