Haven’t you always wanted to eat cookies for breakfast??
You can totally do that with these cookies.
Totally.
They are completely sugar-free! And they’re filled with wholesome ingredients like bananas, oats, and raisins. See? Totally acceptable for breakfast. Or lunch.
Mmm sure, why not?
These cookies were actually the result of a failed attempt at making granola bars. (If only all failed recipes could taste so yummy.)
Cookies for all?
Normally, my goal is to make my healthy dessert recipes not taste healthy. However, these cookies are an exception to that rule. (In other words, don’t expect them to taste like traditional cookies you’d find in a bakery.) The wholesome breakfast cookies won’t be a hit with everyone, and I wouldn’t bring them to a party.
For that, I recommend my popular Flourless Chocolate-Chip Cookies.
But if you’re used to the taste of healthy desserts—and maybe even if you’re not—these incredibly healthy oatmeal-raisin cookies might just be your newest-favorite cookies! 
Oatmeal-Raisin Breakfast Cookies
(gluten-free!)
Also one of My Sugar-Free Recipes.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- scant 1/2 cup applesauce or over-ripe banana (mashed)
- 1/4 cup nut butter (I used salted pb)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 T raisins (or other dried fruit, or even chocolate chips)
- pinch salt if desired (taste the dough to decide)
- 1 packet stevia (or 1 tablespoon sugar. I actually omitted this altogether. If you have absolutely no sweet tooth, you can try it that way. And if you have a huge sweet tooth—or are used to “non-healthy-tasting” desserts—try adding 1/4 cup sugar. As I said above, don’t expect these to taste like your everyday oatmeal-raisin cookies. I’ll post a recipe for those soon!)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mash the banana with the nut butter, then add all other ingredients and mix until well-combined. Shape into cookies and bake for around 14 minutes. (Alternatively, you can try pulverizing the raisins and oats before combining them with the banana mixture, if you want more sweetness.)

This recipe probably yields around 10-12 cookies, but I had to guess… because I ate a considerable amount of the raw dough!
Question of the Day:
Raisins: Do you love or hate them?
I especially love them with the Oatmeal Pudding Method.
It seems like people have very strong feelings about raisins—either adoring them or loathing them! My roommate is on Team No-Raisins. Yesterday afternoon, as we were eating the cookies, she kept picking out the raisins and asking, “Couldn’t you have used chocolate chips instead?!” Hmmm, that’s actually not a bad idea. If there’s one thing I love more than raisins, it’s chocolate!

I love oatmeal raisin cookies! I know my son will love these and I think he and I will try them out today – perfect rainy day thing to do
These look amazing! I love oatmeal raisin cookies. And I absolutely LOVE raisins, especially in oatmeal….or cookies
These look delicious! We just posted an oatmeal cookie recipe a couple days ago, they make a delicious breakfast! I love oatmeal cookies, but usually prefer chocolate in them!
I have to be in the mood for raisins. In a cookie, I usually like them but not in much else. Dried cherries are so much tastier in my opinion
I actually prefer healthier tasting cookies so these have my name written all over them!
Ohh, you used my suggestion, dessert for breakfast! (Haha, but then again, I guess most of your breakfast recipes could be classified as “dessert”) These breakfast cookies look delicious. Oh and I live raisins, but find them absolutely repulsive on their own. They taste best in cereals, or mixed in yogurt with other things, and also in oatmeal.
i’m actually not the biggest fan of dried fruit (too much sugar without the water content to fill me up)
grapes, on the other hand, i LOVE grapes!
I made oatmeal raisin cookies last night – but these are way healthier!
I love oatmeal raisin cookies!!! These look delicious, and who doesn’t like cookies for breakfast?! Raisins are the best – especially in oatmeal. I like adding them when the oatmeal is almost finished cooking so that they plump up nicely.
Wow — I see no reason you couldn’t try dehyrdraing these for a raw food diet, do you? They look great. I might try that.
I bet you could!
I mean, I was eating so much of the raw dough that heck, who needs to cook them at all?
YUM i cant wait to try them!
These look wonderful! I love oatmeal raisin and I’m betting I will love these cookies!!
Mmm… breakfast cookies! I must admit that we eat similar breakfast cookies quite often. We sometimes add hemp hearts and/or sunflower seeds for an extra energy kick. And we’re on your GO RAISINS team – love them so much we buy them by the case!
I don’t know where the North American breakfast traditions come from – they all seem so boring. Cookies, cakes, and rice (oddly enough) are my favourite things to eat first thing in the morning.
Sometimes I just do eat cookies for breakfast… but these would be wayyy better than regular cookies!!
I’m actually neutral about raisins… don’t love them, but don’t hate them.
please let me thanks you…i love your mug cake…the microwave chocolate one…it’s just wonderful…
Ooh they look delicious – thanks for a nutritious breakfast recipe, I need more of those so I don’t just go with oatmeal every day (as much as I love it!!)
LOVE them! This recipe sounds like a winning one! Perfect breakfast to grab on the go!
Thanks for the recipe! I need more good breakfast recipes so i don’t just eat oatmeal every day – as much as I love it!!
Perfect go to breakfast!
Mmmmmm!
I do love me some rainsins! Especially plump juicy ones!
Team No- Raisins!! Blech… but keep up with the breakfast recipes!
HOORAY for breakfast cookies! These look fantastic..maybe even better with the addition of a few chocolate chips in there
MMMM, yummy! I was thinking about what I was going to eat for breakfast when I saw this and immediately whipped some up. They are so good!
Raisin lover!!!!
Omg… Thinking about riding my bike to the store later today to purchase ingredients for these breakfast cookies! Can’t wait to try one
Those look delicious. I love healthy tasting foods/desserts. They probably would be amazing with chocolate chips though
My boyfriend will adore these- oatmeal raisin is one of his fave cookies! Delicious- thanks for sharing!
I’ve never been a huge fan of raisins until recently actually- I’ve started having them in my cereal and love adding them to pumpkin bread!
LOVE raisins. In fact, I love raisins so much that I love bran with my raisins. ha!
So good! Subbed Quinoa for Oats to make it gluten free. Next time I’ll add 1 more package of stevia. Thanks Katie!
Oh wow, that sounds awesome! I have a package of quinoa flakes, and I never know what to do with it!
Oh goodie!
Can’t wait to try these! I’m out of raisins, so I’ll probably sub dried cranberries instead (I love raisins — in fact, I love raisins AND chocolate, so I’ll probably try a batch using both!). I also find myself out of bananas, so I might try applesauce — or do you think pumpkin might be a decent sub?
Yes! I’ve wanted to try that, myself. If you try it first, do let me know how it goes!
My son is 15 months old and LOVES raisins. As soon as we try PB on him and know he isn’t allergic, I am going to put these together. He is currently allergic to eggs, so this recipe will be PERFECT.
I love raisins, especially the golden ones. I think part of the reason is that my mom didn’t really let me have them as a kid, after my dentist at the time told her they were bad for our teeth. No idea if there’s any truth to that, but there are far worse things to eat!
I’m making these for breakfast tomorrow
I would love to see another breakfast recipie for tomorrow! I am really liking your posts with savory recipies like the sweet potato Chili-which is aweome! You rock!
Love them love them.
Love them! Especially when plump and juicy. I like to snack on them all day long! They taste great with practically everything
I am very pro-raisins! I love them!
These look awesome!! I need my breakfasts to be portable so these are the perfect things and I love that they are sugar-free! I’ve only recently started liking the oatmeal-raisin combo and I, like your roommate used to pick out the raisins from cookies! But I wonder if I could add almonds and cranberries instead for a kind of trail-mix cookie?
Yes, definitely! I was also thinking shredded carrot could be fun… carrot cake cookies?
You are awesome! Just what I was looking for. I searched your site yesterday and didn’t find any breakfast cookies so these are right on time and they look delicious. Can’t wait to try them. I’m hoping I can get a batch made today to send with the kido’s to school for lunch snacks. Thanks so much!
These are cute and how you stacked them without toppling over during the photo shoot…good work
I love cooking with raisins and they make great snacks for kids’ or anyone’s lunchbox!
I love it when a recipe failure turns out well. It’s a rare occurrence for me! I used to be firmly planted on the no raisin side of life, but fairly recently I’ve done a 180 on that view.
I love recipes like this! They can be eaten as a healthy snack or a desert! Yum!
I’m on Team No-Raisins, but I would eat these, raisins and all! Cookies for breakfast??? Of course!
Katie, this is so crazy! I just posted a similar recipe a couple hours ago!!! I called them Oatmeal Raisin Bizookies because they taste like biscuit/cookies. They look pretty much like yours, too!!! WOW! Great minds think alike, huh?
You can see mine here: http://spoonfulofsugarfree.com/2012/01/11/day-11-oatmeal-raisin-bizookies/
Wow, great minds really DO think alike!
Haven’t we decided before that we’re kinda twins? Now if only I could live in Florida…
I totally agree-you need to come to Florida! Besides, it is warmer than Texas!!
I like raisins themselves, but I HATE them in things. I don’t want to be chewing a yummy cookie only to discover a raisin. I hate them in bread. I’ll just eat them by themselves. But then, I’m the same way with nuts. Blended nuts in a recipe is fine, nuts by themselves are fun, but no chunks of them in my baked goods!
Awesome post-run snack because they are portable
I used to sit and pick out all the raisins from my oatmeal cookies! But now I love the raisins! Funny how we change as we get older!
I like raisins, but not always. Like sometimes I want them in cookies, and sometimes I don’t. It all depends on my mood. And they’re best when they plump up.
These would be great crumbled into some pudding, or ice cream, or yogurt. Yum!
Not a raisin fan! I always look at oatmeal raisin cookies like, “Why??? Those could have been so tasty with chocolate chips!” That said, my daughter loves raisins, so I keep them on hand.
I love oatmeal raisin cookies. These look so good.
Love raisins. Not like. LOVE.
When I was a kid I ate two Weetabix with raisins and milk for breakfast every day for almost a year straight.
xxx
This sounds amazing, thank you! I love raisins, but I’ve never met anyone who hates them.
Yummy
I love healthy cookies like these. And I do like raisins, but I’d love chocolate chips in these more… or does that go without saying? 
Ooh oatmeal raisin cookies one of my favorites in the whole world. I love raisin’s!
I think I’m gonna make some right now!
No raisins but I’ll take chocolate chips or craisins.
Oh my, these would also make a perfekt snack, on the go :0) I will take them with the raisins, I looooove dried fruits!
So making these…not just for breakfast! Haha
My baby girl will LOVE these. She’s a big fan of “namas” (bananas) and this looks like a PERFECT food that she can feed herself!
Made them with Better N Peanut butter to lower the points (I’m on weight watchers) and left out the sugar….DELICIOUS!!!
Awwww that makes me so so happy! I’m also glad to know they work with BPB, because I’m sure someone else will ask if they can sub it, and now I’ll know how to answer!
These sound lovely! Love that they’re sugar free!
LOVE raisins…. have to get my Mum to post me the Sunmaid ones over from New Zealand, cos you can’t get them in Australia!
I loooove raisins. Just yesterday I was at the store and saw a package of something and at a first glance, I was sure it was chocolate covered raisins and I got so excited! (It wasn’t, though. Boooo.) Anyway, once I have the ingredients for this I’m definitely going to make it. Only I’ll probably overload it with nuts and chocolate chips and dried cranberries and raisins and other yummy stuff.
Hey Katie! First of all, looooved the nutella from yesterday…I’ve eaten almost my whole batch.
Second, I have a question for you. I’m obsessed with your recipes, like seriously in love. However, my doctor just informed me that I now have to be completely oat-free. Major bummer. Do you ever use quinoa or brown rice flakes in your recipes slash do you know if they would yeild good results??
I haven’t tried either… but I do LOVE spelt flakes and kamut flakes. I bet they would work really well! And another commenter said she used quinoa flakes with good results in this recipe
.
I couldn’t sit on these! As soon as I read your blog I had to run out and make them. YUM! I added 1 tbsp maple syrup and did it with apple sauce instead of banana. And chocolate chips – loved that idea! I think it needs salt. I’ve already downed several. Thanks for this recipe!
Thank YOU for making them already! I’m always so excited when someone makes one of my recipes.
As for the salt, I used a very salty pb. But I edited the recipe to say you can add a dash if need be! Thanks for the feedback!
So glad you posted this… I’ve been digging oatmeal raisin cookies lately. Of the single serve variety. I have yet to discover a suitable one via google…. they’re all “protein breakfast cookies” or super sweet. Can’t wait to try!
I’ve actually made something sorta close to these cookies. I like healthy eating and with my recipe I was trying to make a healthier version of a granola bar. I add protein powder to my mixture and make “muffins” instead of bars. It’s a quick go to snack anytime of the day but especially before a work.
I will definitely have to try your cookies though!
You read my mind! I am so making these once I get vanilla
you are once again, a genius! Thank you
First of all, how did you balance them so nicely and manage to get a pic without them falling and second …they still look delicious to me!
Haha oh yes, they did want to fall! And they very much DID fall… multiple times! I ended up sticking a toothpick in!
Love these! I think my kids would like them (and they usually hate any kind of “healthy” cookie I make!! ) My only problem is I want to eat all 10 of them right now!
Love oatmeal raisin cookies – these look delicious! And perfectly acceptable for breakfast or lunch
I just put a batch of these in the oven. I added a little honey since I have quite a sweet tooth. I also went for both the raisins and some chocolate chunks! Can’t wait to try them out (the dough was tasty!).
Chocolate chunks? That sounds even better than chocolate chips!
.
I am in love with chocolate chunks! Whole Foods makes these little mini chocolate chunks… oops, I’m getting on a tangent here
Ooh, these look great for breaky on the run!
I made you sound angelic….maybe you are. 
P.S. I mentioned you in my latest post!
Awww I just saw your post. Thank you so much. I would have to say that you got it wrong, though… YOU are the angel!!
I could totally justify eating these little delights for breakfast! They look great – and I like raisins but don’t love them. They taste much better in cookies.
Just made these…and ate them all! I followed your recipe and used applesauce instead of banana and added some chopped pecans. I didn’t eat any of the dough and yielded about 8 tablespoon-sized cookies. I woke my husband up and we both devoured them all! He loves them! I just used a packet of sweetener and he though they were perfect and he has “normal” taste buds. Thanks for another amazing recipe! I look forward to trying you recipes as soon as I get home from work! Keep ‘em coming =)
Aww yay!!! And I’m glad to know someone with “normal” tastebuds (lol) likes them. I was wary about posting them after my mom said they were horrible… but my roommate and I liked them so much that I went ahead and posted anyway
.
Katie, I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but it is a little misleading to label items such as this “sugar free”. I know you are just trying to say that you aren’t using added sugar, but there is still sugar from natural sources (raisins and bananas both have a good amount). My guess is that most of your readers know this though. Either way, I love your recipes and just made your fudge babies a few weeks ago.
Thanks, Jen. What I mean is that it’s free of sugar, as in the white stuff. So, sugar-free!
(But I would definitely agree with you that I don’t think calling a recipe with agave or honey or maple syrup “sugar free” is correct.)
I made traditional oatmeal raisin cookies the other day but used a banana instead of egg and omitted about 1/4 of the sugar…but I could probably go without the sugar all together. Definitely trying this one! I love raisins!
I recently discovered your site and can’t wait to try one of your cookie recipes. I would love breakfast ideas for tomorrow!
Oatmeal and raisins were made to be together and I love them in any form. A cookie, a bar, a muffin or in a bowl – I can never have too much of this combo. But raisins are good in other combinations, too. If you have ever eaten pumpkin stuffed with dried fruit and nuts, you already know it. Rum soaked raisins make some desserts really outstanding compared to their raisin-less versions. And last but not least, my favorite banana bread is packed with raisins and walnuts and I wouldn’t use anything else instead of them. So… I’d love an oatmeal-raisin cookie
.
These look delicious, but I hope you do come up with a healthier granola bar! I’ve been craving them like something fierce
I actually DID get a good granola bar recipe to turn out! Hopefully I can get the post up soon!
These look yummy! But one small technicality for the diabetics: they are not “sugar-free” because there are natural sugars in the fruit, etc. They are “no sugar added.”
You’re so right–there are definite raisin lovers and raisin haters. I am a lover–I have a tendency to pick them out of raisin bran and granola…
My sister doesn’t like them though–she always requests that my mom leave them out of her holiday pumpkin bread.
This came into my inbox this morning and, after having been determined to eat some of the Bob’s Red Mill oats I bought and then utterly failing to make oatmeal, I decided to make these!
I didn’t have raisins; my family hates them but I love them, so instead I used chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, hazelnuts) and a few cranberries. I ended up using 1/2 a tbsp of raw sugar, because I have a tiny sweet tooth when it comes to oats but mother doesn’t, and I used almond/brazil/cashew butter and a banana. They’re great! I’m really tempted to try them with some blueberries next time. :3
Ooh they sound like they’d be really good with blueberries!
Also, Brazil nut butter sounds amazing! I’ve never tried it!
I can’t wait to try these with dried plums…..my new favorite dried fruit!!
I doubled the recipe, so I used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/ 2 cup bananas. My son is allergic to peanut butter so I subbed cream cheese. I had to mix it up by hand (literally) and I didn’t like the consistency so I threw in another couple of handfuls of oats until it seemed dough like. Hey guess what?! It worked!! I presented them to the family as baked oatmeal though. “Cookie” would have set up expectations that these little jewels could never meet. Thanks so much for the inspiration! They are surprisingly addictive.
Ooh interesting! With the cream cheese, I wonder if you could do a carrot cake cookie! Carrot cake and cream cheese just seem to go together in my book
.
Yum! You could add nutmeg and use honey instead of the sugar. Delish!
Those would be a great snack, too!
Yum! DEFINITELY trying these!!
Katie:
Thank you so much for this recipe! I just made a batch (subbing chocolate chippies for the raisins). Like you, I also omitted sugar — and they turned out so moist and yummy! You can really taste the banana. The dough was very sweet and tasty too.
I wanted to also say that your website rocks as a whole! Whenever I have a craving for something sweet yet healthy, I head straight to your site. I really like how your recipes are so versatile (ie. you don’t always have to add the sugar if you don’t want, and you can change up the ingredients depending on your craving, and you make suggestions to suit different dietary needs). Keep your creative ideas coming!! : )
Awww Beth, thank YOU so much… both for making the cookies AND for your sweet comment
.
I love oatmeal raisin cookies! I especially love that you used peanut butter in these — YUM!
Thanks Katie! I am doing eat to live, and I hardly had to modify the recipe to make it fit! No sweetener, no salt. They were PERFECT. I made a single serving version and put it aside to have with breakfast tomorrow (I had a nibble). I chose to use a melted banana, pb & raisins. So yummy! Thanks so much. You rock. I love your blog.
Regards – a fellow chocolate covered, breakfast loving, vegan running gal (seriously, your blog speaks to my soul).
Haha so nice to know there are two of us!
My 13-year-old daughter and I have been addicted to your blog for the last several months. Thank you for all your healthy kitchen work! These cookies are awesome! We just made a batch for breakfast tomorrow morning, and a few have mysteriously disappeared already. We’ll be having sweet dreams tonight!
Thank YOU for trying them! It always makes me so so happy when someone tries one of my recipes!
Yum! I will have to make these as soon as I have all of the ingredients..they sound wonderful (but probably with chocolate chips over raisins..for some reason I’m just not a fan..). They look perfect for a quick breakfast or snack on-the-go, and now that med school has started up again “quick” is a much needed quality
Thanks for the recipe!
The recipe looks great, but would definitely be better with chocolate! Life is better with chocolate in it
I like raisins, but I’m not a die hard fan! They have a weird after-taste to me..
Gotta love an easy healthy cookie recipe
I made a batch tonight using applesauce and 1 tsp of sugar. My bf who loves all things really sugary and buttery loved them, I think the peanut butter won him over. Next time I’m adding dark chocolate chips too. Thank you for a great recipe!
Peanut butter always wins me over too… the only thing better than peanut butter is chocolate. Or chocolate AND peanut butter.
A quick (and healthier) answer to tonight’s craving…otherwise I would have caved to the siren song of some Oreos my brother brought home…thank you Katie
I used applesauce and almond butter, plus a large pinch of salt. For sugar I used a Tbs of pure maple syrup, and used 2 Tbs raisins plus 2 Tbs mini MnM’s. After adding the half cup oats, the batter still seemed a tad wet, so I added another Tbs of oats, plus a Tbs of whole spelt flour. They baked up soft and thick and chewy, just how I like. An added bonus: under 30 min from start (getting ingredients out) to finish (taking them out of the oven). I also love your choc chip cookie dough dip, and find that it tastes even better after languishing in the fridge for 2 – 3 days 
Haha those Oreos are LOUD when they want to be eaten!
I don’t love raisins but the kids do. I could try a different kind of dried fruit too and I’m sure it would be delicious. I love the idea of eating cookies for breakfast and I’m sure the little ones would too! I always ate cookies and donuts and cake-type things as a kid for breakfast but they weren’t the healthy kind. So thankful for websites like this so I can do better for my kiddos!
cookies for breakfast sounds like a dream… (drool)
Luv how simple this recipes is…yum!
Deffffinitely making these this weekend to put in my yogurt bowls!
These were great! I added pureed dates for my sweetener. I usually don’t like raisins in cookies at all, but as I’ve lowered my sugar in my sweets, I guess I’m starting to appreciate them for their sweetness.
Cookies for breakfast…yum!! My kids are going to be so excited abut this one!! Thanks for the great recipe…I am loving your blog!
umm YES PLEASE !!!
these look delicious!!!
Thanks for the recipe, Katie!!
I made these and they were delicious! I ate them up pretty quickly. ; )
Fantastic recipe. I have been known to eat cookies for breakfast all the time, they are usually healthy moni style so it is all good.
cookies for bfast?? yessss
Just this morning, while eating a bowl of oatmeal, I thought to myself, “I need to make some kind of oatmeal-to-go thingy.” You can now add “psychic” to your list of talents!
These look good – but I do hate raisins. As soon as I saw them I was like, replace the raisins with chocolate chips!! The worst is when you think it’s a chocolate chip and then you bite into it and it’s actually a raisin. Noooo!!!!
Yum. I just made these easy delicious cookies for breakfast. I ate 2 straight out of the oven and LOVE them. I cannot wait for breakfast. A cup of tea will go great with the rest of those cookies. Thank you!
These just became a staple in our house. Yum. I used almond butter and apple sauce. I also added a few coconut flakes. Thank you for the delicious and healthy recipe!
Made these yesterday but substituted PB2 (powdered peanut butter that is magic) and the consistency came out very odd. I’m thinking the oil in the regular nut butter is essential! But they still taste fairly yummy! I’d say substituting the nut butter with PB2 cut out a lot of calories. I calculated that my cookies were about 25 calories each. But a 55 calorie cookie is great, so I think I’m going to try this again and follow the directions exactly.
Oh I meant to add that I also substituted one T of raisins with 1 T of dark chocolate unsweetened chips. About each cookie had one chip in it so gave it a more rich flavor.
love oatmeal raisin cookies
I think they are my favorite. My friends always think I’m “weird” being like, WHAT!? WHY DONT YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE CHIP!? and I’m like, sorry, can’t help it I love the gooeyness of a oatmeal raisin 
SO I <3 raisins. My brother hates them tho- when we buy raisin bran you'll always find a good 10-20 raisins in the kitchen sink drain. *sigh*
I love this! I can’t wait to try them. I have been looking for a granola recipe, and I want to use the hot chocolate bars you posted and break them in to chunks and put them in the granola bars. I need some fast breakfast options I can make on a Sunday and eat through out the week! So I am so excited about these cookies, but also excited you’re working on some granola bars
These were yummy! I used unsweetened applesauce, but I do want to try it with the banana, that would also taste yummy. I was also thinking of throwing some coconut in them, but I realized with dismay that I didn’t have any left in the house. Oh well, next time!
Left out the sugar entirely as well, the sweetness from the raisins is enough for me. Thanks for the great recipe, I plan on making these frequently!
These look so yummy! I love how you were able to make cookies healthy and breakfast-appropriate. Great job!
These look delicious! Great Idea.
I just made these and they were fantastic! Not a fan of raisins, but I added some dried blueberries and a few unsweetened chocolate chips. Will definitely be making these many times over. Thanks for another wonderful recipe!
Is nut butter (salted pb) the same as peanut butter?
Nut butter can be whatever type you choose– almond, cashes, peanut. I used peanut butter.
Yumm! Just made these with my little guy and we both loved them. We used 1 tbsp of honey and 2 tbsp of ground flax seed. Next time I would probably use 1/2 tbsp of honey or maybe just leave it out! My kids are going to think I’m pretty cool when I let them have cookies for breakfast tomorrow. Thank you!
I made these this morning, and they turned out great! I used peanut butter, banana, and added a little bit of honey. It was my first time making one of your recipes – I look forward to making more in the future! Thank you!
Cookies for breakfast? Yes please
Just made these with about 1/3 cup mashed cooked sweet potato instead of the banana…yumm.
I have been searching for a recipe like this! I wanted a healthy snack for my toddler. Trying this weekend. Thanks!
I made these over the weekend, but instead of raisins I used white chocolate chips and cherry-infused dried cranberries….absolutely delicious!!! Great, simple, healthy recipe!
You know what else would be good in these, craisins!! =) Just thought of that as I was headed over here! Aaaannnywho…. made these last night and loved them, but they were a little ‘soft’ and ‘mushy’. Did I do something wrong or is that how they should be? The flavor was great, but the texture was just a little funny. Here is a link to my post. Overall a great recipe!! =)
http://jolynccc.wordpress.com/2012/01/24/breakfast-lunch-and-dinner-cookies/
Hmmm, mine weren’t mushy. But I used natural pb, so maybe that’s why?
Yes! In love with the idea of breakfast cookies. I would eat cookies for every meal if I could!
I actually make a similar cookie, but I don’t use nut butter (I tried it once, but it actually cut the sweetness of the banana.) Without the nut butter, you really don’t need any sweetener at all- the raisins and the banana do the trick. I originally used oil and then I saw that pumpkin could be used in recipes in place of oil and adding pumpkin just took these to the next level.
http://teachinggoodeaters.blogspot.com/2011/11/warning-these-cookies-are-really.html
Thanks for posting this recipe! Made these using applesauce and Enjoy Life chocolate chips and they turned out fantastic! Oh, and it sure was hard to resist eating the raw dough!
These look awesome and perfect for my twinks for a quick breakfast on their way to school! Do you happen to know if they freeze well? I’m all about making big batches and having food at the ready!
I’m not sure… if you try it, do report back!
katie! i want to make these so bad tonight but all i have on hand are quick cooking oats! could this work??
Sorry, I’m not sure… but you can always try!
I’ve made them with quick cooking oats and regular and they both come out great.
These are in my oven right this moment, and I’m resisting the urge to pop one of the magma-like spheres into my mouth right this minute. Self control. Self control, hah.
Thank you!
Correction. Just ate one, and am literally dancing around my kitchen at 11:00 at night. Love them!!!!
LOL!
katie dear
