Haven’t you always wanted to eat cookies for breakfast??
These sugar free cookies are filled with wholesome ingredients like bananas, oats, and raisins. See? Totally acceptable for breakfast. Or lunch.
Mmm sure, why not?
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
Also found here: 100 Sugar-Free Recipes
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- scant 1/2 cup applesauce or over-ripe banana (mashed)
- 1/4 cup nut butter of choice (I used salted peanut butter)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp raisins (or other dried fruit, or even chocolate chips)
- 1/16 tsp salt, plus a tiny pinch more if desired (taste dough to decide)
- 1 packet stevia if using applesauce version (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 applesauce or 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!
Raisins: Do you love or hate them?
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!
EDIT – Here is the chocolate version:
Jess says
These look amazing! I love oatmeal raisin cookies. And I absolutely LOVE raisins, especially in oatmeal….or cookies 🙂
Chelsea @ Naturally Sweet Recipes says
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!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
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!
sarah g says
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.
teabagginit says
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!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
I made oatmeal raisin cookies last night – but these are way healthier! 🙂
Patricia says
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.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I bet you could!
I mean, I was eating so much of the raw dough that heck, who needs to cook them at all? 😉
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
These look wonderful! I love oatmeal raisin and I’m betting I will love these cookies!!
Jennifer JCD says
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. 🙂
Kira says
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.
beatrice says
please let me thanks you…i love your mug cake…the microwave chocolate one…it’s just wonderful…
Anna @ The Guiltless Life says
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!!)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
LOVE them! This recipe sounds like a winning one! Perfect breakfast to grab on the go!
Anna @ The Guiltless Life says
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!!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Perfect go to breakfast! 🙂 Mmmmmm!
I do love me some rainsins! Especially plump juicy ones!
Tonya Parker says
Team No- Raisins!! Blech… but keep up with the breakfast recipes!
Sabrina says
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!
Rebecca says
Omg… Thinking about riding my bike to the store later today to purchase ingredients for these breakfast cookies! Can’t wait to try one 😉
Ashley Dodge says
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!
Annie says
LOVE raisins. In fact, I love raisins so much that I love bran with my raisins. ha!
Kristine (Naturally Sweet and Delicious Blog) says
So good! Subbed Quinoa for Oats to make it gluten free. Next time I’ll add 1 more package of stevia. Thanks Katie!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh wow, that sounds awesome! I have a package of quinoa flakes, and I never know what to do with it!
Pamela says
Oh goodie!
Kara says
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?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yes! I’ve wanted to try that, myself. If you try it first, do let me know how it goes!
Helen says
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.
Amanda says
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!
Tiffany says
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!
JEnny says
Love them love them.
Qi Ting @ A Dessert Diet says
Love them! Especially when plump and juicy. I like to snack on them all day long! They taste great with practically everything 😀
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I am very pro-raisins! I love them!
Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola says
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?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yes, definitely! I was also thinking shredded carrot could be fun… carrot cake cookies? 🙂
mrsluckypants says
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!
Melissa says
I’m on Team No-Raisins, but I would eat these, raisins and all! Cookies for breakfast??? Of course!
Nadiya says
Awesome post-run snack because they are portable 😛
Hilliary @Happily Ever Healthy says
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!
Lisa Fine says
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!
Liz says
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.
Aja says
I love oatmeal raisin cookies. These look so good.
Rebecca says
This sounds amazing, thank you! I love raisins, but I’ve never met anyone who hates them.
Heidi @ Food Doodles says
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? 😀
Ashley @ Southern Purple Vegan says
Ooh oatmeal raisin cookies one of my favorites in the whole world. I love raisin’s!
Ro says
I think I’m gonna make some right now!
Sandra says
No raisins but I’ll take chocolate chips or craisins.
Camilla says
Oh my, these would also make a perfekt snack, on the go :0) I will take them with the raisins, I looooove dried fruits!
Lisa says
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!
Lisa says
Made them with Better N Peanut butter to lower the points (I’m on weight watchers) and left out the sugar….DELICIOUS!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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! 🙂
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
These sound lovely! Love that they’re sugar free!
Lou says
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!
Nikki Sue says
Oh my goodness, my 18month old went NUTS for these! More specifically, he went crazy for the batter– the actual cookies are still in the oven.
We actually used pumpkin in place of the applesauce–so good!!!
Mike Sully says
These oatmeal raisin breakfast cookies look delicious! How much time did it take to prepare them overall?
Pam says
My brother and I always picked out the raisins too. Mom got smart and started grinding them for cookies. Now it’s so much easier with food processors. Makes the cookies moister as well and I would imagine it would make them seem sweeter.
Lena says
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. 😀
Lindsay@LivingLindsay says
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 🙂
Sarah says
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??
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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 :).
Amy S. of Naturally Sweet Surprises says
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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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!
natalie @ southern fit foodie says
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.
sarah says
YUM i cant wait to try them!
Erin says
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!
Jodi says
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! 🙂
Anna @ Food Fitness Frolicking says
HOORAY for breakfast cookies! These look fantastic..maybe even better with the addition of a few chocolate chips in there 🙂
Annie Semlak says
You read my mind! I am so making these once I get vanilla 🙂 you are once again, a genius! Thank you
Kit-Kat says
Raisin lover!!!!
Dana says
Those look delicious. I love healthy tasting foods/desserts. They probably would be amazing with chocolate chips though 😉
Tina says
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!
Bethany says
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-Covered Katie says
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 :).
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
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!
Kaitlyn@TheTieDyeFIles says
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.
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
I love recipes like this! They can be eaten as a healthy snack or a desert! Yum!
Charissa says
Ooh, these look great for breaky on the run!
P.S. I mentioned you in my latest post! 🙂 I made you sound angelic….maybe you are. 😉
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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!! 🙂 🙂
Jesse @ Happy Go Lucky Vegan says
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. 🙂
Amanda says
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 =)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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 :).
Jen says
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. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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.)
Becca says
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!
Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says
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/
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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…
Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says
I totally agree-you need to come to Florida! Besides, it is warmer than Texas!!
Mikki says
I recently discovered your site and can’t wait to try one of your cookie recipes. I would love breakfast ideas for tomorrow!
Albizia says
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 🙂 .
Amber K says
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!
Tracy says
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.”
~Jessica~ says
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.

Lana says
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
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Ooh they sound like they’d be really good with blueberries!
Also, Brazil nut butter sounds amazing! I’ve never tried it!
Amy says
I can’t wait to try these with dried plums…..my new favorite dried fruit!! 🙂
Lori says
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. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
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 :).
Lori says
Yum! You could add nutmeg and use honey instead of the sugar. Delish!
Rebecca @ Naturally Healthy and Gorgeous says
Those would be a great snack, too!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
So making these…not just for breakfast! Haha 🙂
Beth says
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!! : )
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Awww Beth, thank YOU so much… both for making the cookies AND for your sweet comment :).
Kathleen @ KatsHealthCorner says
I love oatmeal raisin cookies! I especially love that you used peanut butter in these — YUM! 😀
Jenny@HealthyMOChick says
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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Haha oh yes, they did want to fall! And they very much DID fall… multiple times! I ended up sticking a toothpick in! 🙂
Alicia L says
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).
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Haha so nice to know there are two of us! 😉
Clare @ SweetnSimple says
Love oatmeal raisin cookies – these look delicious! And perfectly acceptable for breakfast or lunch 🙂
Angela says
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!
Katie @ Nutrition in a peanut shell says
These look delicious, but I hope you do come up with a healthier granola bar! I’ve been craving them like something fierce 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I actually DID get a good granola bar recipe to turn out! Hopefully I can get the post up soon! 🙂
BroccoliHut says
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.
Shaina says
Yum! DEFINITELY trying these!!
Kendra says
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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Peanut butter always wins me over too… the only thing better than peanut butter is chocolate. Or chocolate AND peanut butter. 😉
Heidi says
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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thank YOU for trying them! It always makes me so so happy when someone tries one of my recipes!
Ina says
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 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Haha those Oreos are LOUD when they want to be eaten! 😉
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
The recipe looks great, but would definitely be better with chocolate! Life is better with chocolate in it 🙂
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
I like raisins, but I’m not a die hard fan! They have a weird after-taste to me..
Melissa Herrmann@ Kids in the Sink says
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!
Karen says
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.
Danielle@BigLifeLittleGarden says
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!
Alice says
cookies for breakfast sounds like a dream… (drool)
LizAshlee says
Luv how simple this recipes is…yum!
glidingcalm says
umm YES PLEASE !!! 😀
these look delicious!!!
Thanks for the recipe, Katie!! 😀
Steph @ StephSnacks says
Deffffinitely making these this weekend to put in my yogurt bowls!
Johnisha says
I made these and they were delicious! I ate them up pretty quickly. ; )
Nicole @ Giraffelegs says
cookies for bfast?? yessss
Les says
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!
Moni'sMeals says
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. 🙂
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
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!!!!
Rhona says
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!
K says
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!
Rebecca says
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. 🙂
Rebecca says
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.
Lisa says
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*
Lecia says
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 😉
Joanne H says
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!
Nicole says
These look so yummy! I love how you were able to make cookies healthy and breakfast-appropriate. Great job!
College Lifestyles says
These look delicious! Great Idea.
Lauren says
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!
Becky says
Is nut butter (salted pb) the same as peanut butter?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Nut butter can be whatever type you choose– almond, cashes, peanut. I used peanut butter.
Kara says
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!
Laura says
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!
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
Cookies for breakfast? Yes please
valerie says
Just made these with about 1/3 cup mashed cooked sweet potato instead of the banana…yumm.
Lisa Fyfe says
I have been searching for a recipe like this! I wanted a healthy snack for my toddler. Trying this weekend. Thanks!
Shaina says
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!
jo-lyn's cup cakes n' candies says
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!! =)

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hmmm, mine weren’t mushy. But I used natural pb, so maybe that’s why?
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
Yes! In love with the idea of breakfast cookies. I would eat cookies for every meal if I could!
Julie@teachinggoodeaters says
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.

Kristy says
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!
Keri says
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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m not sure… if you try it, do report back! 🙂
Veronica @ Café con Leche says
katie! i want to make these so bad tonight but all i have on hand are quick cooking oats! could this work??
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I’m not sure… but you can always try!
Ilene says
I’ve made them with quick cooking oats and regular and they both come out great.
Hannah says
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!
Hannah says
Correction. Just ate one, and am literally dancing around my kitchen at 11:00 at night. Love them!!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL! 🙂

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Alyssa,
Sorry, what do you mean by “classify”? I do have a recipe tab, if that’s what you’re looking for: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/chocolate-covered-recipes/
megs says
my son LOVES these! All of his favorite foods are combined to make his new fav super food!
Ellen says
I would l love to make these however I have no peanut butter on hand anyone know a good subsitute?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Any nut butter will do 🙂
Ellen says
yes but thats just it I have no nut butters lol can I omit the peanut butter without ruining the recipe?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I don’t know.
Ellen says
I suppose I could try it heh
Bethany says
I just made these and they are pretty good. Definitely not like the traditional oatmeal-raisin cookie (I’m going to try your flourless one today too!) but they make a good snack. 🙂 I also tried it with chocolate chips and those were delicious! With the choco-chip ones I only used half the peanut butter and (obviously) no raisins. Yum!
Katie says
These are my new obsession! Absolutely LOVE them! I omitted the salt and sugar and they are still amazing. Thank you for this recipe! 🙂
Megan says
These are sooo good! I tried both versions, the banana and the applesauce and I have to say I prefer the applesauce. I also tried another applesauce version with cut up date and pecans. So yummy! I plan on making many variations of these. I made two batches and they disappeared in 24 hours!
Callie says
I was craving a chocolate but I’m on a diet so decided to make these! Not a banana fan so I used unsweetened applesauce, and two tablespoons of sugar because i’m out of stevia. Instead of raisins I used mini chocolate chips (two tablespoons) and they were awesome. I think these are going to be a new staple in my house! Thanks Katie!
tanya says
I made these last night, I used applesauce instead of the banana, and they did not turn out too well. I have not used the banana yet, but I would reccomend using that instead. Not very flavorful, so I would reccomend using nuts or chocolate chips. 🙂
Also, I used about 1/4 Flour & 1/2 MORE oats because my batter was very watery.
Mick says
I just made these cookies but I added dark chocolate chips in instead of the raisins. They were delicious! Even my sister loved them, and she hates anything healthy! Thank you so much for posting this recipe =)
Ferial says
I doubled the recipe and used BOTH banana and applesauce and they turned out SO GOOD.
Great recipe as usual, Katie. 🙂
Aimee says
Much prefer these with the banana but i might make them next time as Ferial did above. They have been a huge hit in this house! Thanks Katie 🙂
gv says
I love it that they are a small recipe so I don’t have tons I have around and that you have nutritional info. I figure it all out for myself but I like it that you’ve done it for me :). I just got gf oats so this is great.
Mandie says
I just made these this morning! I used banana & chocolate chips. They were awesome!
I don’t mind the ‘healthy’ taste of these little things at all – kind of makes me feel good about eating them. No Guilt! lol
Next time I make them I’m not going to add anything to them & add extra cinnamon.
Question – Does cashew butter have a more mild flavor than pb or almond butter? Some in my family do not care for the pb taste & I thought that perhaps cashew butter was the answer; as I know that almond butter has a strong flavor.
Anonymous says
Edit:
The other day I did make them with nothing added and upped the cinnamon.
They were awesome!
Although it would be kind of weird to say you had cookies for breakfast if someone asked, this is definitely a great breakfast recipe!
Mandie says
Woops! The above “Anonymous” comment was me.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m really not sure. I guess it depends on one’s taste buds.
Mandie says
I tried them with cashew butter the other day & they were good! The did have a mild flavor. Though I love the pb taste, others prefer the cashew.
Gabrielle @ Marathons and Macarons says
I made these with applesauce, chopped pistachio nuts and dried apricots – they were fantastic! I also used some nutmeg. The peanut butter makes them soft and gooey, which I love in a cookie. My only regret was that I didn’t double the recipe! 🙂
Kerri says
Hi Katie! I make these breakfast cookies a lot. We love them! But today, I had leftover pumpkin in my fridge, no applesauce, and had to reserve my last banana for my baby boy. I had been waiting to try a new twist on these. I didn’t have time to check and see if anyone else already posted results for this substitute, but I know you love to read that kind of feedback. I replaced the banana with pumpkin and the raisins with two tablespoons of mini chocolate chips. They are delicious! I think I’ll put allspice and nutmeg in next time though. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. We love so many of them!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m really glad someone tried them with pumpkin! Thanks for reporting back, Kerri. Haha I might just have to try it with the pumpkin spices now… even if it is the middle of May ;).
Amy says
we have nut allergies so I can’t use PB. Is there something I could use as a substitute?
Thank you 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
any nut butter or sunbutter or peabutter 🙂
Amy says
My son is allergic to all nuts….is sunbutter or peabutter free of nuts?
Amy says
I looked them up 🙂 thank you so much! I love your website!!!
Kristen says
This may be a dumb question, but can I sub quick oats for the rolled oats?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I haven’t ever tried it so I don’t know.
Jillian Marie says
I always use quick oats for everything and they work great (I just made these with them as well)
leanna says
Made these and linked them to this page from my blog! I think I over-baked mine, because they came out almost like granola….which was pretty good regardless 🙂
Jess says
Just made these, thank you so much, they are delicious and healthy, I love them! Keep up the good work xxxxxxxx
Heidi says
Thank you so much for these. I am sensitive or downright allergic to so many things. This is awesome.
Kim says
I make these often and usually double the recipe! I like both the applesauce and banana version. My kids go wild when we have “cookies” for breakfast! Thank you 🙂
Lara says
Katie, what do you use to mix this? do I need to use a food processor or just with a spoon and bowl? 🙂
and I’m totally pro raisin! I love raisins! thank you for this recipe!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
spoon and bowl is ok 🙂
Kathy says
Just made these with almond butter, coconut palm sugar, and white raisins- absolutely delicious!
Thank- you!
Michelle Sartor says
This looks like a delicious recipe. We love peanut butter and will try that version, though I imagine almond butter is tasty.
My family likes golden raisins MUCH better than the typical dark raisin. I think it’s because they’re more camouflaged in the cookie.
Jillian Marie says
These are in the oven now! I used cashew butter as the nut butter, carob chips as oppose to the raisins, and added 1 TBLS raw honey (on top of the packet of truvia). Also, a local farm near me makes Chunky Rum Applesauce, so I used that. I measured the cookies with a TBLS measuring spoon & got 14 cookies at 2 weight watchers points plus value per cookie. I’m so excited to try them!
Jillian Marie says
p.s. They’re amazing! Next time I will make each cookie 2 TBLS each instead of just one so they’re a little bigger. Or maybe I’ll keep them small, sandwich ice cream in the middle of 2 of them and make ice cream sandwiches!
Chelle says
I just made these. Yum!
I used craisins instead of raisins since that was what I had on hand and added just a pinch of baking soda! They are really yummy! Thanks for the great recipes!
Rachel says
I made these last night and they are great! My son loved them for breakfast this morning. Next time I will try the applesauce version, as I didn’t love the slight banana taste. So easy and healthy! Thanks!
Nessa says
I am making these now!! The batter was delicious; I had to tear myself away from eating all the batter. 😉
I used almond butter, golden raisins, 2 TBS coconut, and left the rest the same. They’re baking as I type… 😀
Thank you, Katie! Your recipes are truly helping me to achieve my weight loss goal! <3
Nessa says
Ps…they’re SO nom-licious!!!!! 😀
Melissa says
Just made these! I used crunchy roasted almond butter and mixed raisins and chocolate chips and added a tsp of coconut sugar/crystals. OMG. I’ve already eaten 3 of them! I wish I had another black banana so I could make another batch! ha ha ha
Sara says
These make a perfect breakfast snack on the go! I just made a batch this morning and between my husband and me, they are almost gone. Was tempted to double the recipe but wanted to try it out before I ended up with loads of something neither of us loved. Clearly that is not the problem. I’ll try again this weekend with some coconut additions — the almond butter and golden raisin/cranberry mix was good but what isn’t better with coconut? Thanks for the ideas, other readers!
Lenore says
I was duped! Saw these on pinterest and thought they were chocolate chip. Raisins have no business in my treats. I will try the recipe with chocolate chips, perhaps.
Kim says
Made these yesterday for hubby and me. They were delish! And the recipe made just the right amount (8 cookies about 1.5″ in diameter). I sub’d the applesauce with banana, as suggested.
Thanks for another great recipe!
Dharshi says
I just made these and love them! 🙂
Amy sloan says
I love these and here is my favorite variation. So far. If you love the Kirkland brand Cashew Clusters from Costco you know there are a lot of nutty crumbs left at the bottom of the bag. I throw those in with the oats. Then add applesauce and cashew butter to go with it. I prefer chopped up dried apricots over raisins. Try it, you’ll like it!!
Danielle in NH says
Thanks, Katie, for such a great recipe! I cannot count the number of times I have made it. And, surprisingly, it is THE requested snack at my son’s 4 year old preschool class. Even the kid that eats nothing but pretzels and Oreo cookies loves them. I have made multiple variations (applesauce/sunflower butter/mini chocolate chip, banana/peanut butter/raisin/extra cinnamon, banana/peanut butter/raisin/chocolate chip/extra cinnamon) and by FAR the favorite is the last – banana/peanut butter/raisin/chocolate chip/extra cinnamon. Can’t wait to cook my way through all your recipes.
Rebecca says
The first time I made these I pretty much gobbled down the whole mixture and cooked cookies, and had to quickly donate some to my sister to help! So light, you can really get carried away.
Second time, I decided the mixture itself would make a good breakfast on its own. Protein (nut butter), & fibre and all so delicious!
Now I have decided to mix it up a little to use the mixture to make “energy bars” for after the gym. I usually have a banana and peanut butter (no added salt, oil, sugar kind) but I figured with that as the basis of this recipe I could add more goodness! I have now added dried cranberries, seasame seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Protein ahoy! A zillion times better then those farm-yard smelling whey drinks !
Thank you

Kerri says
what does scant mean in the recipe?
Lini says
I actually used to not like raisins, but I love them now. Maybe it’s because I’m older!
I can’t wait to try these cookies!
Heather says
These were delishhhh!!!! I was looking for a healthy breakfast cookie recipe and this was healthier than any breakfast cookie recipes I could find. The kids and I loved them!
darlene says
I did like it uncooked. It was so much sweeter (without any added sugar). I tried it again today-raw and I believe the apple wasn’t as sweet, so it didn’t wow me like last night. But, it did save me from the need of cake or a not so healthy cookie binge. Thanks.
twinkle says
The dough tasted great!!!! …oh…the cookies you say?? Uhhh..The dough tasted great!!! Lol ate the dough before they turned into cookies:) TRY THIS RECIPE!!! IT IS DELICIOUS XD
Page says
This is my favorite cookie to eat
because it’s guiltless!
Thank You Katie!!!!
Maddie says
You’re website has been such a blessing! I have a huge sweet tooth/ love to make food for people but I feel yucky if I eat too many traditional goodies (or dough when I’m cooking- I mean who can resist?) but this website lets me cook for my dad and parents and eat as much as my tummy can handle! And who woulda thunk that my dads favorite carrot cake would be vegan?? You’re awesome and been given an awesome gift! Thank you! (Ps I share your immense love for breakfast foods- no better meal of the day!)
CHUCKFNNORRIS says
WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT SUGAR?!
Taylor says
These are literally the best breakfast cookies ever; I LOVE the hint of peanut butter! I also add a bit of milk to mine to make them a tad less dry, and they’re amazing! Thank you!

Leire says
Can you leave the nut butter out? Does it affect its consistency? BTW, love your recipes! It’s the only way to have my family eat vegan and healthy desserts and snacks!
Makayla says
What is your favorite brand of raisins to use for baking/cookies?
Kc says
I would live to make these for my kids, except they are allergic to nuts (including sunflower seeds). Do you have a suggestion for a nut-butter replacement?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sunbutter?
BlueTopaz7 says
Is there a way to omit the nut butter?
Alex says
I burnt my first patch slightly but they still tasted yummy, they were flatter than the ones in your photos, which im assuming comes down to too much apple sauce. I cant wait to try a second patch
Annika says
This recipe seems great, and really healthy! Cannot wait to give them a try 🙂
Stephanie says
I just made these today and they are amazing and I don’t even like raisins! I made a double batch and did use brown sugar (1/3 cup) and did half peanut butter and half almond butter. They were fantastic! My kids loved them and everyone I gave one to asked for another and the recipe. Thanks! Oh, and I upped the cinnamon as well because I am sort of a freak for cinnamon. 🙂
Tatum says
Just made these for breakfast! They’re delicious! I used banana and didn’t add any sugar and I thought they were plenty sweet. But, my pb has some sugar in it, so that may be why. Thanks! I’m in love with your blog, btw 🙂
Dawn says
I’m just wondering, how much Stevia is in one packet? I buy it in a jar and in liquid form.

Audrey says
Yummy! Made these for my kids, so I substituted the sugar for maple syrup (our sweetener of choice) and it was a big hit.
Marissa says
Just left philly and am finally home for the holidays. home screams comfort and comfort screams cookies. According to the fruit bowl, some individuals have been ignoring the amount of bananas we have! Making many of these to try tomorrow! Thank you
Nicole says
Just made these for breakfast for mommy and myself, and OMG, they were amazing! I actually didn’t have any banana or applesauce on hand (*gasp*) so I actually used an egg per 1/4 cup of applesauce. It was great! I also substituted nuts and dried cranberries for the raisins. They were divine! Thanks, Katie, for another awesome recipe. 🙂
Maceo says
Katie, I’ve had these cookies a bunch of times. I use them as a life saving cheat snack while on the Hcg diet. Coconut oil instead of nut butter. Cranberries instead of raisins. And I sometimes steal my babies blueberry applesauce blend for the sauce! Mmm. Thanks so much. You’re awesome!
Kerry campbell says
Oh my goodness, if u do one thing today, make these, they are so ridiculously good!!! I’m just making a second batch because we almost ate the first, and I only just took them out of the oven. Yummy is an understatement, approved my Mummy, Daddy and 3 year old. X
Kloe @ Kloe's Kitchen says
Yum! I love the thought of a breakfast cookie, and it looks healthy! What a great way to start the day! I am trying these soon! Thanks for sharing!
~Kloé ♥
Pawan says
I made these without the raisins (don’t like them!) and they were fantastic!! I used crunchy peanut butter and they are just amazing.
Your blog is awesome!! Thank you!
Tonya says
Hi!
Can I ask what brand of Stevia you use/recommend?
Thanks!

Madison says
Tasty tasty! Just made these cookies and me and my husband loved them! I am Team no raisins as well and went the chocolate chip route. Apple sauce is the bomb in cookies who knew!
Elle says
I added 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and loved it! It helped give them the consistency of cookies more so than a similar recipe I tried in the past. Thanks!
Ruchita Sarvaiya says
Waiting for the banana and muesli cupkins to cook! ( I had no vanilla essence and no rolled oats; hence the muesli. ) I was inspired after I saw your recipe and the kitchen smells yummy!! There goes my timer!! 🙂 thank you sooo much! Practice for Macmillan Cancer Care Coffee Morning! ❤️
Aimee says
I just made these and they’re great! I didn’t add sugar or stevia and they were perfect! Thank you!
Jenny says
I am baking these now. I added honey instead of Stevia, some coconut, and a few chocolate chips in addition to the raisins. I got 15 cookies out of it. I’m hopeful they will taste good!
kaytee says
Just made these and they are lovely!
Georgia says
Can I use honey instead of the sugar?
Jane says
Hi Katie,
Just wondering if these are meant to be chewy or crunchy?
I’m new to baking but excited to try these.
Thank you.
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Chewy.
Emily says
I just made these and tried the first one hot out of the oven and they taste sooo good!!
I tried the version with chocolate chips as well as the one with raisins (because I couldn’t decide haha) and I also pulverized the oats before adding them to the batter and they turned out really nicely!
Thanks for this great recipe! 🙂
Rachel says
I just made these while doing some snack prepping- DELISH!!!! Added a chopped up dark chocolate dove promise square (:
Kathy Gossett says
My husband loves cookies but he is diabetic. I am not sure which is the best flour to use in cookies, the almond flour or the coconut flour. I am having trouble finding a recipe for these flours. He does like Zing; how much do I use to replace regular sugar. Thank you for your help. Kathy G.
Physco219 says
I too am diabetic. See my comment. I omitted all the sugar and keep the cookies small. To me the cookies were fine without. Hope this helps.
sherria says
Love this site it helps my family and I to eat healthy with out the bad sweets!
Terri says
Great recipe! Used mashed banana, chunky peanut butter, and chocolate covered dried cranberries and they were delicious! Thanks!
Physco219 says
I made these with smooth peanut butter, quick cook oats (all i had) and banannas. The batter is loose and gooey. It tasted amazing. I opted to omit sugar as I didn’t feel it would be needed. (This proved to be fine for us.) A few suggestions that I want to try next time:
Honey roasted peanut butter
Other dries fruits
Chocolate chips
Add egg make more protein and maybe more airy.
Shape like biscuits
Squeeze out of a Ziploc bag
Brown sugar or other sweeteners
Fry in non stick pan
Candies
In all this is a great base to add to or do as is to keep it simple. I plan on making these for a scouts group as a “trail mix bar” given the taste they’ll never know its pretty healthy and easy too. These could easily be made in advace or fire side. Enjoy.
Katie says
I just made these. The flavor is delicious, but they didn’t firm up. I even baked them longer – 16 minutes, but they didn’t stick together. We had to eat them with a fork.
Jillian Farrell says
Look amazing! How long do these last in the fridge? Freezer?
Teddi Bear says
Love, Love, Love this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. I use it as a base and put whatever fruit puree, over ripe apples, bananas, overripe pears I have even a can of peaches if that is all I have…although the family liked the peaches better than me. I add goji berries, raw sunflower seeds, flax seeds, cranberries, dried cherries or chocolate whatever we have…usually all in same batch. Oh, my DH doesn’t like stevia so I add a little honey. They are filling and good…as oatmeal can get a little boring. Serve with finger food such as apple slices, celery or carrot sticks…what ever you have. There you go… a great breakfast!
Maria says
Hi! How much stevia is in a packet? I have the big container. Also, are we able to print out this recipe? I am not seeing a print icon. I did make your flourless oatmeal raisin cookies and they are great (but would like to try a lower sugar option!)! Thanks!
Mom says
Had no applesauce, Blended half a fresh apple and used a small chopped peach insted of raisins. Runny dough so I baked them in muffin tins. My kids loved these.
Carla says
wtf why applesauce 🙁
