Breakfast cookies are a great way to encourage your kids to eat breakfast without feeling any guilt about a sweet treat. These Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Cookies are seriously yummy, and there is no added sugar in them. That means, as a mom, you can feed your kids cookies with no fears.
Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Cookies
Another great and easy recipe that takes about 5 minutes to prepare, and only 12 to cook. That's what I call a new favorite. I made these in a small batch since I was experimenting, but this recipe easily doubles or triples. Making these was a way for me to have some good breakfast options that are fast. However, I discovered they make a great snack, and I needed to make larger batches because my son kept grabbing them when I wasn't looking. For once, I didn't get upset when he had a couple of cookies before dinner.
Ingredients
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 mashed bananas
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon Splenda (or Stevia if preferred)
How to Make Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mash the bananas in a medium bowl.
Mix in the oats, cinnamon, and sweetener of choice.
Scoop by the tablespoon full onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and set
How Many WW Points Are In Each Breakfast Cookie?
This batch makes 12 cookies. The points listed below are for each cookie. While I have shared a range of points for the WW PersonalPoints plan, you may prefer to enter the recipe or use this link for the recipe on the WW app to determine your personal points per cookie.

- Points Plus: 2
If not using the WW app itself, check out the Healthi app (formerly iTrackBites) for plan options similar to the past options of WW.
Variations of the Breakfast Cookie
While these are perfect just as they are, you may want to make them just a bit different sometimes. Below are some of my favorite additions. Just remember if you add anything to the recipe to add it to your points calculator as it will change the WW points for each serving.
- Mini chocolate chips (sugar-free if preferred).
- Raisins or golden raisins.
- Chopped pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, or almonds.
- Additional ¼ to ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, cloves, or ground cinnamon.
How to Store Breakfast Cookies
These breakfast cookies freeze well and are great for a week or so in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I prefer keeping them in the fridge since it helps them last a bit longer. You can also make these and freeze them for up to 3 months. I just recommend you allow them to cool completely before you
