Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Peanut-Butter Banana Breakfast Cookies image

What makes the perfect breakfast cookie? I've determined that people like a low-sugar cookie. They also really like oatmeal. As far chocolate? Less is more. These breakfast cookies are easy to make, assemble and serve-and are definitely not your average oatmeal-and-raisin cookies.

3 large, ripe bananas

Pinch of salt

  • Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, cinnamon and salt, and stir until just combined. (The mixture may be thick and hard to stir.)
  • Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop, and form balls with your hands, pressing the dough together very tightly. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

RIDICULOUSLY HEALTHY BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES



Ridiculously Healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies image

In a bid to add to my seemingly-naughty-but-actually-very-healthy recipe collection, I invented these ridiculously healthy banana oatmeal cookies! They have no added sugar, no butter/marg and no flour in them and (considering this) taste rather magnificent if I do say so myself! I'll say it now - if you're NOT on a diet then you probably won't think so much of these. They are pretty yummy, but there are probably plenty of nicer recipes (ie. with butter and sugar) if you're not weight watching. I find these to be a really nice, healthy, filling treat though, and I hope you enjoy them too!

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 9 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ripe bananas
2 cups oats (not instant, the proper scotts type)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon low-fat peanut butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180c.
  • Mash the bananas and mix with the oats, milk and egg before adding the remaining ingredients (it just mixes a bit easier and more evenly this way). These measurements make the mixture just the right consistency for my liking, but if it looks a bit runny to you at this point, throw in another handful of oats to thicken it up.
  • Grease a cookie tray with 1 cal spray and spoon the mixture on to make around 9 large cookies.
  • Bake for around 20mins until golden brown.

BANANA NUT OATMEAL COOKIES



BANANA NUT OATMEAL COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Fruit     Nut     Bake     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 well ripened banana (cut into 1" or so chunks)
1/2 Cup chopped Walnuts
~2 ounces of either dark chocolate, white chocolate, or caramels, chopped (for drizzling, optional but highly recomended)

Steps:

  • Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, beat both sugars, butter, and shortening together until smooth(I use a stand mixer) Add Vanilla, egg, and banana, beat until well mixed. Stir in Flour mixture, oats, and walnuts until blended. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. You will have to make several batches, but only bake 1 pan at a time. Bake cookies until edges are light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. While one sheet is cooling, start baking the next sheet. For Drizzling : Stir chopped chocolate or caramels (if using caramels add about a tablespoon of water) in top of double boiler until melted and smooth. (you can also melt chocolate in the microwave in 10 second burst stirring well between burst until smooth and liquid if you prefer. Using a small spoon, drizzle topping over cookies in zigzag pattern. Let stand until topping sets, about 1 hour, or refrigerate cookies for about 10-15 minutes to set topping faster. I usually use a combination of 2 toppings, drizzled in opposite directions for aesthetic appeal.

PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES (EGG-FREE, MILK-FREE)



Peanut Butter & Banana Oatmeal Cookies (Egg-Free, Milk-Free) image

These cookies are so simple--only 5 ingredients! The best part is they are healthier than your average cookie. They are moist, chewy and crispy-brown on the bottom. My family likes them as a snack or even for breakfast, and I hope yours does too! (Note #1: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh--meaning within the first day or two of being made. This is because they are very moist, and the moisture changes the texture of the cookie the longer they are stored in an air-tight container. Note #2: DO NOT substitute any other type of oats. Use only quick-cooking oats, or the cookies will not hold together as well once baked.)

Banana Oatmeal Cookies With Banana Frosting image

Make and share this Banana Oatmeal Cookies With Banana Frosting recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Christine

Categories     Dessert

Time 32m

Yield 5 dozen frosted cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup mashed ripe banana (2 to 3 medium)
1 3/4 cups quick oats (not instant or old fashioned)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons Butter Flavor Crisco
1/4 cup mashed banana
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar
finely chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease baking sheet; set aside.
  • Cream 3/4 cup Crisco and brown sugar in large bowl at medium speed until well blended.
  • Beat in egg.
  • Add one cup mashed banana.
  • Mix until creamy.
  • Combine oats, flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and nutmeg.
  • Stir into creamed mixture.
  • Mix in one half cup nuts.
  • Drop 2 level measuring tablespoonfuls of dough into a mound to form each cookie.
  • Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes.
  • Cool one minute on baking sheet.
  • Remove to cooling rack.
  • Cool Completely.
  • For Frosting: Cream 2 tablespoons Crisco, 1/4 cup mashed bananas and lemon juice.
  • Add confectioners sugar.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Frost cooled cookies.
  • Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure the bananas are mashed until they are smooth and creamy. This will help the cookies to be moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be baked until they are golden brown around the edges and the tops are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal banana cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of oatmeal banana cookies that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you have some ripe bananas, give this recipe a try!
