Flourless Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies are the absolute cat's meow! No flour, no refined sugar, no butter, no eggs and all natural which sounds downright BORING, right? (<----for those sugar die-hards.) But these breakfast cookies are healthy, nutritious, and delicious all at the same time. Meoooowwww!
Bananas, oats, peanut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, oat flour, vanilla, and baking powder. That's only 8 ingredients, unless of course you add in some random raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, coconut or whatever your little heart desires.
Another cool fact about these cookies, is they will also satisfy your sweet tooth, when you need a quick snack, breakfast on the run or some quick energy. Obviously, I have a sweet tooth and I love these cookies, especially when there's chocolate involved! Perfect-O!! 😀
So, there will be no Grumpy cat scowls, even though I really do love Grumpy cat's sarcastic demeanor! See what I mean? He's funny!

That is so awesome Maribel! Thank you for trying it and letting me know you had success! I think because we disguise oatmeal and bananas into cookies, it makes everything ok! Yay! 🙂
Omg. They were a hit. My son asked me to make him some more. Who would have known that he would actually eat oats and bananas. That’s amazing. Thank you very much. He’s not a healthy eater. This was an excellent and nutritious cookie. Wow you out did yourself.? giving you a high five.
He might really enjoy them with the chocolate chips in there too! Chocolate chips talk! 🙂 Thank you Maribel, we do have to sneak foods in and I hope he enjoys them! 🙂
Hi. I’m going to try these. My son doesn’t like oatmeal and bananas. This will be a good source of protein and potassium in one shot. He’ll never know what hit him lol. Hope they come out amazing. Thanks.
Thanks so much Kathleen! I love this recipe, the cookies are amazing! Thanks for stopping by!

Nellie, these are really good too, you will love them. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I can't believe I actually have all the ingredients for this recipe!! These would be great to make on Saturday night. I'm always too busy getting myself and the little one ready for church that I just don't have time to eat breakfast. So glad I stumbled upon this one!
These sound wonderful and I try to eat gluten free as much as possible, so thanks for this great sounding recipe.
They do look yummy and love healthy things like this to eat for breakfast.
Blessings, Nellie
