Breakfast cookies are the perfect breakfast for toddlers and children who beg for cookies for breakfast!
My 4 year old is always wanting cookies for breakfast, so I decided to make a breakfast cookie that would make both of us happy! I like to make large cookies, so I used about 1/4-1/3 cup batter (a large ice cream scoop) for mine, but you could make smaller cookies as well! Just reduce the bake time.
I opted for a lower sugar content cookie so I know that we aren’t loading up on sugar first thing in the morning, but you could increase the sugar content to you liking. I also let the boys dip their cookies in some real maple syrup for a little more sweetness.
This recipe does have a few more ingredients than some of my other recipes, but I wanted to add as much as I could to make this a hearty breakfast, even if it is a cookie.
Breakfast Cookie Ingredients
- rolled outs/flour – you could opt for gluten free flour if you wanted
- flaxseed – high in fiber and a protein source
- brown sugar – to add a little sweetness
- baking powder/soda – these leavening agents help the cookie rise.
- cinnamon – warm cinnamon flavor
- bananas – not only helps with sweetness but also holds everything together
- egg – egg helps hold everything together and gives the right texture
- butter – you could swap for coconut oil also
- buttermilk – you could also use regular milk
- vanilla – who doesn’t love vanilla
- blueberries – we’ve done these with chocolate chips also!
How to Make Breakfast Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a bowl combine rolled oats, flour, flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside
- In a second bowl combine mashed bananas, egg, butter, buttermilk and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Gently fold in blueberries.
- Scoop onto a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
I hope you enjoy these! If you want to check out other recipes try my mint hot chocolate cookies or my apple cider cinnamon rolls.
