Banana oatmeal cookies made with just 3 simple ingredients. They’re vegan, gluten-free and perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or healthy treat.
It doesn’t get much better than cookies made with just three ingredients! You likely have everything in your pantry so you can make a batch whenever you need a simple breakfast or a healthy, delicious treat.
This recipe is definitely reminiscent of a bowl of oatmeal… but you’re eating it in cookie form which is pretty fun! Because these have such minimal ingredients, I give them to Liv too. She loves munching on them for breakfast or a snack. If you have older kiddos, this would be the perfect after-school snack for those hungry little bellies!
Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Cookies for breakfast? You better believe it! I refer to these cookies as “breakfast cookies” because they are packed with nutritious ingredients to keep you fueled all morning long. I kept them super simple so you can whip them up the morning of, or you can meal prep them ahead of time for a grab-and-go meal or snack.
What You Need
- bananas – make sure you are using ripe bananas! The riper the bananas the sweeter they’ll be. And you’ll be mashing them so you want them to pretty soft and caramel-y. The banana peels should be speckled with brown spots.
- quick oats – grab gluten-free oats if necessary! Quick oats are pre-cooked, dried, rolled and pressed slightly thinner than rolled oats which make them a great quick-cooking base for these cookies!
- chocolate chips – I recommend Lily’s chocolate chips which are low in sugar and calories. I also like Enjoy Life chocolate chips which are allergen friendly.
- optional add-ins – I kept these cookies super simple with just three ingredients but if you want to take these cookies to the next level, you can add in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nut butter, sea salt, etc.
How to Make Banana Oatmeal Cookies
I bet you’ll find yourself making these cookies quite often because of how easy they are to make! Here’s how simple they are to make:
Mash: Mash bananas using the back of a fork. You want the bananas to have a fairly smooth consistency, but a few small chunks are okay.
Mix: Add in oats and gently stir until oats and bananas are fully combined and a thick dough forms. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop: Using a 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop mixture and place on baking sheet about 1 to 2 inches apart. These cookies don’t spread while baking, so make sure to press each ball into a cookie shape. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top if you prefer.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12 – 15 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes and enjoy!
Oatmeal Cookies Tips
- Shape the cookies – these cookies won’t spread during baking like traditional cookies do so make sure you shape them into a cookie before baking.
- Use ripe bananas – I mentioned this above but the riper and more brown-speckled your bananas are the better! Also, make sure you’re using fresh, not previously frozen and thawed bananas.
- Have fun with more mix-ins – try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit or other mix-ins of choice! The options are endless!
- Double the recipe – since these cookies freeze so well, I recommend doubling the recipe and storing some of the cookies in the freezer for a later date.
How to Store Leftovers
After allowing these cookies to cool completely, store them in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week or freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, make sure to thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying.

How come there is no nutritional info for these cookies….macros?
Sorry about that, Kristen! We caught that this morning and I updated the post to include the macros. 🙂
So easy! These were great. A little banana-y but I used not quite ripe bananas, which may have been why. I also added a bit of vanilla and cinnamon; will add more next time. And a batch with strawberry and blueberries instead of chocolate chips. So I make the oatmeal bars all the time. I eat them for bfast, I’m working on my cholesterol. Unfortunately my family all loves them too! But if I am counting calories, these new cookies win!! Plus, so easy to make. Less cook time. I doubled the batch and it made 25.
These cookies are really, really good. So easy to make as well. I love your recipes Brittany! My husband now asks me, “what does Eating Bird Food have for us today?”
Ah yay!! This makes me so happy to hear, Mary. I’m so pumped you loved these cookies. Thanks so much for making them and coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
Would old fashioned oats work?
I think that would be just fine! They might take a bit longer to bake, but just keep an eye on them. 🙂 Let me know how they turn out for you!
I made these with old fashion oats. It never turned into a thick dough probably because the oats didn’t absorb the banana like the instant oats would have. I added an extra half cup of oats to make it thicker. I’m not sure if the cookies turned out how they were supposed to but they were still very good and a great way to use up ripe bananas. I added the peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla as recommended. Delish!
Just made these with unsweetened applesauce and they came out great! Gluten free oats and 1TB of crunchy almond butter was my twist. Loved them!
Woo! Pumped to hear these cookies were a success, Caroline! Thanks for letting me know!!
These are so good!! Love having a super simple, delicious grab and go breakfast or snack!! Next time I’ll try with peanut butter for extra protein! Thank you! Can’t wait for my kids to try them!
Woo!! So thrilled to hear these cookies were a hit, Jamie. Thanks so much for making them and coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me!
These are good coming out of the oven but a 10/10 from the freezer. I always have a bag of these stashed in the freezer in case I’m in the mood for a sweet treat. I buy an excessive amount of bananas did this exact reason!
So glad this recipe is a hit, Kaitlin! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I appreciate it so much!
Oh my goodness! These are so delicious! They remind me of my grandma’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookies but take about one quarter of the time to make. Thank you for another quick healthy recipe!

Woo! So glad to hear that, Eloise! Thanks for leaving a review and star rating, I really appreciate it.
First time making these. After trying them straight from the oven I wasn’t a fan. But then I realized the cooked banana flavor was what I didn’t love. Once they cooled down, they became awesome for me!
Woo! So happy to hear these ended up being a hit for you, Stacey. Thanks for coming back to leave a review, I appreciate it.

A perfect recipe for a Saturday morning of using up those bananas before they go bad! My 8 year old did everything herself (minus the oven). They taste great – we added the vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt. Perfect treat for an on-the-go sports day!

If I use rolled oats, will the cooking time change?
Hi, Ashley! I think the texture of the cookies will be denser, but I think it should work with the same cook time. Let me know how they turn out!
Loved these cookies. Easy to make and delicious. I opted to add the TBS of PB and I’m glad I did. Wondering if these need to be refrigerated after they’re done. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi, Stephanie! I’d recommend storing them in the fridge in an air-tight container. Glad this recipe worked out for you, thanks for making them and coming back to leave a review and star rating!
Delicious snack! Loved trying out this recipe and can’t wait to make them again.
Woo! SO happy to hear that, Keira! Thanks for coming back to leave a review and star rating, I really appreciate it.
Are these cookies really banana tasting? I do not like the taste or texture of ripe bananas, that’s why I’m asking. I don’t eat banana bread.
Hi, Vickie. I would say yes, you definitely taste the banana. I don’t think it’s overwhelming but if you don’t like bananas I think you would taste it. I will say it’s not like the texture of a ripe banana thanks to the oats and baking!
Uh yuuuummmm! These were so good! I added in sugar free peanut butter and sprinkled chocolate chips on top. I omitted the chocolate chips on a few so the dogs could try them too (I saw someone else’s comment about doing that). They obviously loved them too!
Thank you for another great and easy recipe!
Woo! I love that these are being enjoyed by humans AND dogs! Treats for everyone 🙂 Thanks for coming back to leave a review, Tara, I appreciate it!
Ok, these were soooooo delicious! I ate 5 for breakfast! I did add the cinnamon and vanilla. I used Lily’s semi sweet baking chips!
Can’t wait to have more!
Woo! So glad to hear that, Nita! Thanks for leaving a review, I appreciate it.
I made this recipe yesterday in hopes that my kids would eat them instead of chocolate chip cookies. It worked!! They love them. They were SO easy to make. My husband even approved! Will definitely be making them again very soon.
Yay! Happy to hear your kids and husband loved them! Thanks for making them and coming back to leave a review, I appreciate it.
A great recipe to get my toddler involved in making an easy snack for her.
Yay! Love little helpers in the kitchen. Thanks for leaving a review, I appreciate it so much!
I was craving something sweet but still somewhat healthy. Those took literally 5 mins to make and were delicious!!! Don’t hesitate to add a couple of things, like cinnamon (cause I’m obsessed with cinnamon) and peanut butter for protein!!
Woo! Love to hear that Jadziah 🙂 PB + banana + chocolate + cinnamon is a delicious combo!
So good and so easy! I added all the extras and a little more oats bc my bananas were a little bigger. So glad I doubled the recipe and can’t wait for my toddler to try them.
Woo! So glad these were a hit for you, Erin! Thanks for coming back to leave a review, I really appreciate it.

Woo! Glad to hear using rolled oats worked for you, Lindsay! Thanks for sharing your technique and leaving a review, I really appreciate it.
I gave this 5 stars because it’s yummy and SIMPLE! it took all of 3 minutes to put together. I felt like I was having a treat but knew that it was healthy! 😊 I made mine with vanilla and cinnamon added. And when I went back for a 2nd and 3rd cookie, I drizzled them with almond butter. I loved these and will make again.
Woo! So glad these cookies were a hit for you, Erin. Thanks for making them and leaving a review, the almond butter drizzle sounds perfectly delicious!
This are perfect!!! So easy and I even used the wrong oats..oops!!

Thanks so much #ebfrecipeclub

A bowl of oatmeal in cookie form, who can complain? These are a great go-to quick and healthy dessert. I agree with others about adding cinnamon (and maybe peanut butter because peanut butter + banana is the best combo!)
Yum! I totally agree, I love PB + banana. Thanks for leaving a review, Molly, I really appreciate it!

Oh, dried blueberries and white chocolate chips sound SO yummy! Thank you for sharing your add-ins and review, Samantha, I appreciate it so much!
These are simple but I wasn’t a big fan. Just didn’t care for the texture, or how they smelled the next day (even in the fridge). This is the only 3 star review I’ve had for your recipes. Just a personal preference I guess.
Hi, Stephanie. I appreciate your honest feedback! Thanks for giving them a try 🙂
Loved this recipe. Halved the ingredients and made one big cookie as an end-of-week-treat. DELICIOUS!

Yay! Love that your husband loves them, too Jessica. Thank you for your review, I really appreciate it. 🙂
Our family loved making–and enjoying!–these healthy cookies today! We have made this cookie recipe in the past using just the 3 basic ingredients, and they turned out great! Today we prepared these cookies using ALL of the suggested add-ins (i.e., vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, and almond butter), and they were fantastic!! We also added chopped walnuts as an extra mix-in. These cookies were just what we needed to satisfy a sweet craving in a healthy way! Thank you!
Yay! I love hearing this, Angela. I’m glad both versions worked out for you, thank you for sharing! I really appreciate your review.
Simple to make. Already had the ingredients on hand. Great way to use ripe bananas. Very tasty! I’ll try the add in next time. Thanks!
Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe, Tami. Thank you for leaving a review and star rating, I really appreciate it 🙂

Love when simple is still satisfying! Thank you for your review and star rating, Taryn, I really appreciate it!
Wow, I love these!! I had low expectations because of the minimal ingredients (lol) but am tickled pink with the final result. I made the recipe as written, including add-ins. I would be happy eating these for dessert or potentially for a breakfast option (with an egg or fruit). Super easy to make as well (huge plus). My husband also loves them so I guess our batch won’t last long…thanks so much!!
Woo! Love to hear it, Emily. Than you so much for your review and star rating, I really appreciate it.
I love how easy these were and that they are naturally sweetened with bananas! Healthy enough to have for breakfast. Will definitely make these again when I have ripe bananas.

Have been waiting to make these with my toddler and finally got to it today. They were SO easy and super yummy. He loved helping and can’t wait to bring them for his snack at school tomorrow 🙂
This is a great and delicious recipe. My 3 year old made these with me. Fun smashing the bananas, mixing and scooping. Fast, eady, nutritional and yummy! Thank you!
Woo! Love to hear that, Leah! So glad your 3-year-old could help you with these. Thanks for leaving a review and star rating, I appreciate it! 🙂
Can you use old fashioned oats instead?
Hey Sharon – Rolled oats should work just fine, the cookies might just be a bit chewier. Let me know how they turn out if you try them!
Great way to use up those super ripe bananas. (I use a potato masher to mash bananas). Made these using the suggested additions but substituted raisins for the chocolate chips. Taste really good and very easy and quick to make.
Thanks for trying this one out, Kathy! So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for leaving a comment and review, I appreciate it!
I truly couldn’t believe how delicious these turned out to be! I did add the cinnamon and salt she suggested as add ins. I also decided to put in 2 Tbsp of peanut butter powder and 1 Tbsp of water. These are more delicious than a traditional cookies, and with no sugar, butter, or flour! I plan on using them for a quick snack on the way to work.
Yay! I am so happy that you have enjoyed this recipe, Sue. Thank you for coming back and leaving your review + star rating, I appreciate it!

WOO! I am excited to hear that you are loving this recipe, Tanya. Thank you so much for sharing your review + star rating, I so appreciate it.
Sorry, meant “ripe” (not rope) bananas!
So easy and healthy! A great way to use those over ripe bananas! I added in the vanilla, walnuts, a sprinkle of salt and used mini chocolate chips! Perfect for my husbands cardiac diet.
Ah yay! I am so excited to hear that you are loving this recipe, Diane. Thank you so much for coming back and leaving your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
What a great recipe! I used rolled oats & they turned out so good, I ate an entire batch in 2 days & made a double batch the next day. I like the texture best the day after they are baked, or if they sit in an airtight container to get more moist. I used not very ripe bananas (I couldnt wait for them to ripen haha), added vanilla extract & salt plus a little ground flax. I love that they are so easy to make & they are healthy, yet w/enough chocolate to be a treat. Thank you!
Woo! I am excited to hear that this recipe is such a hit, Lulu. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
Yum! Made these last night to use up some ripe bananas. I used rolled oats and just let the mix sit for a few minutes to help it combine. Love the 3 ingredient ease of it. I can’t wait to have a couple for breakfast!! I love that you give us base recipes that we can build off. Thanks for helping me eat healthier foods that aren’t over complicated.
It is my pleasure, Arlene. I am so glad that you are loving this recipe and finding recipes that are helping you eat better. Thank you for your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
I added 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder and substituted raisins for the chocolate chips. Delicious!!
Yum! Great idea, Maggie. I am so glad you are enjoying this recipe and they turned out great! Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I so appreciate it!
