How to Make Banana Blueberry Breakfast Cookies
Step 1: Prep the Dough
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
3️⃣ Add oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds, then mix well.
4️⃣ Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond butter until combined.
Step 2: Add the Blueberries
5️⃣ Gently fold in blueberries, nuts, and chocolate chips (if using).
Step 3: Shape & Bake
6️⃣ Scoop out the dough using a spoon or cookie scoop and place 12-15 cookies on the baking sheet.
7️⃣ Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon (they won’t spread much).
8️⃣ Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 4: Cool & Enjoy
9️⃣ Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
🔟 Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Pro Tips & Variations
✔ Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available—just don’t thaw them first.

✔ Add extra protein by mixing in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
✔ Turn them into bars by pressing the dough into a baking pan and slicing after baking.
