Blueberry Breakfast Cookies

Ready for the perfect breakfast idea? Cookies. The ultimate breakfast kids and adults will love. These healthy blueberry breakfast cookies are the perfect way to wake up in the morning.

On hectic mornings, you need quick and convenient breakfast ideas. I know firsthand how easy it is to reach for a pre-packaged sugary breakfast bar and call it a meal. The sugar crash after those bars is real though, and they always leave you feeling hungry 20 minutes later. There is a better way my friends.

These blueberry breakfast cookies are super easy to make and prep ahead for hectic mornings. They are just as convenient as store-bought bars, while also being filled with nutrients that will keep you and your family going until lunchtime.

Blueberry Banana Breakfast Cookie Ingredients

The best part about these breakfast cookies is that the ingredients are all-natural and have zero added sugars so this is one cookie you can feel really good about enjoying.

Ready to see what they’re made of? Here’s what you need:

  • blueberries
  • bananas
  • applesauce
  • vanilla extract
  • old fashioned oats

How to Make Blueberry Breakfast Cookies

What I love about this recipe is that it comes together in a single bowl and the oven does the rest! You can prep the batter the night before and bake them while everyone is getting ready.

They are terrific slightly cooled down because the blueberries are gooey like jam, or, they can be eaten cold straight out of the fridge.

Ready to make these breakfast cookies to have on hand? Let’s do this!

  1. Prep
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mash & Mix
    Mash the bananas with a fork inside a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mix in the oats and combine until you have a thick batter.
  3. Fold
    Pour blueberries into the batter and gently fold to combine.
  4. Scoop
    Use a cookie scoop or large tablespoon to scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the dough with the back of the spoon to flattn the cookies.
  5. Bake
    Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes until the cookies are light, golden brown.

Did I mention that this cookie is soft, chewy, and super delicious? Go ahead. Print the recipe below or pin it for later.

You’ve read the steps, but now watch how easily these breakfast cookies are made!

Of course, I’m not saying that making a hot breakfast like Homemade Whole Wheat Waffles or an Oatmeal Breakfast Bar or Homemade Egg McMuffins are not good options, but the reality is that kids LOVE cookies -ok, and me too!

    This sounds amazing and healthy, but does anyone have ANY idea how many calories, or what’s considered eating too many? because I’m pretty sure I could finish these in two or three settings! LOL!

      Hi Jen! You can figure out the nutritional value of these cookies (and any of our recipes!) by plugging the ingredients you use into a calorie calculator like this one. https://www.caloriecount.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
      You are the only one who can determine how many calories you need and how much is “too much”!

    A co-worker made these and they were awesome! They are actually a little “gummy” but that’s to be expected when banana and applesauce is being used. Several people in the office tried them and didn’t have a problem with the texture at all! She also made a batch with dark chocolate chips – but those were gone before I could try one. I’ll be making these!

    Saying two ripe bananas is not really giving a measurement. Bananas come in all sizes. This is why the consistency varies. It would be helpful if a measurement of mashed bananas were given… like 1 cup, etc. I find this problem in many recipes that call for ripe mashed bananas.

      1 Cookie would be one serving. I keep mine 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

      Great way to see the nutritional value in a recipe is to go to “Eattracker”! Just google it. You can add your own recipes, put in how many cookies you made out of it (or servings out of a recipe), and it will give you the entire break down per serving. Great tool I found!

    I have found that too much banana makes for gummy baked goods. When I use banana to replace eggs in recipes I measure 1/4 c for one egg. I will be trying these cookies this week and let you know how they turn out!!

    I am so excited to try these. My older kids leave so early in the morning for school and they can grab these and go!
    I have a couple of questions about this recipe…..
    How many cups is 4 ounces of applesauce? I have home canned applesauce I want to use.
    Also, are you using fresh blueberries? Or would frozen be okay?

      4oz = 1/2 cup. Frozen blueberries will be fine. I have tons in my freezer and that is what I use! :)

        It probably depends in part on the size of the bananas you use. I know in the stores here sometimes the bananas are twice as big as they were the week before, so you kind of have to decide how much to use based on the size of the bananas you have.

          absolutely; but if it feels too “wet” add an additional tablespoon or two of oats. frozen bananas have higher water content.

    These sound so yummy and easy to make. I would also try other fruit along with the banana like Strawberry. I have everything but the blueberries right now. Could I substitute frozen fruit for the blueberries? Just defrost it first or do you think that might become to soggy?
