Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies with oats, peanut butter, banana, craisins, golden raisins and pepitas will be your favorite baked oatmeal recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1-1/2 cups of mix-ins we love: 1/2 cup each craisins, golden raisins and pepitas
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in your mixer bowl and mix until well combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop, scoop generous scoops of the mixture on to a silicone mat lined baking sheet. (These cookies don’t spread so I can get all 12 of mine on one pan.)
- Use a glass or a flat turner to smash the cookie down just a little so they are flat, but still pretty thick.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 17-18 minutes or until they just start to turn golden brown around the bottom edges.
- Let cool and store in a air tight container or baggie at room temperature.
Notes
The great thing about breakfast cookies is that you can switch out mix-ins and make them a completely different flavor. Our absolute favorite mix for the morning includes the saltiness of the pepitas, (little green pumpkin seeds), mixed with the sweetness of the craisins and golden raisins. However, you can switch out any kind of chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or other dried fruit that you like! As a note, I couldn't decide which kind of oats I liked better, so I settled on one cup of each, but you can definitely substitute one for the other if you don't have both on hand. This recipe makes 12 good size cookies.
