    Peanut Banana Oat Cookies

    Peanut Banana Oat Cookies - a tasty-but-good-for-you breakfast for those busy mornings!

    Peanut Banana Oat Cookies - egg, flour, butter free. No added refined sugar. So simple to make!

    So tell me, are you in the 'I can't eat chocolate for breakfast' camp?

    Or are you in my camp?

    I'm not talking about a 1kg bar of Dairy Milk with my morning coffee (but who am I kidding here, I would so eat that for breakfast if someone put it in front of me).

    I'm talking about a little bit of dark chocolate, mixed into an oaty, peanut-ty cookie.  Crisply brown on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.

    Yes, I'm mixing peanut butter into my recipes again.  Still hate the stuff on it's own (that spoonful in the picture? eugh, just the scooping it out of the jar brought on that horrible 'sealing of mouth' feeling), but add it into anything and I'm usually sold.

    Peanut Banana Oat Cookies - egg, flour, butter free. No added refined sugar. So simple to make!

    I had a lonesome, almost black banana that came very close to going in the bin, but decided to rescue it, and make an updated version of my favourite Banana Oat Cookies.

    There's nothing like having a pile of cookies in the oven, when 10 minutes earlier you weren't even in the kitchen!

    I bet these would have worked wonders for my post-school-reunion hangover on Saturday too....
    If I could have actually managed to eat anything the next morning!

    I can't believe I left high school 20 years ago. I feel so old!
    Of course that didn't stop any of us from drinking like irresponsible teenagers, gossiping, laughing raucously, and dancing like a very un-cool parent (but thinking you look like a Strictly champion at the time).

    Good times, but bad bad head.

    No more daft cocktails until at least Christmas!

    Just give me my cookies, a blanket and the next episode of Downton Abbey please.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 medium sized ripe banana - peeled
    • 100 g (3.5oz) rolled oats - check they're gluten free if required
    • 2 tbsp honey
    • 3 tbsp. peanut butter
    • 50 g (1.8oz) dark chocolate - chopped (check it's gluten free if required)
    • pinch of salt

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Preheat your oven to 170c/325f
    • Place the banana in a medium sized bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the oats, honey and peanut butter and give everything a good stir until combined.
    • Add in the chopped chocolate (reserve a few pieces to sprinkle on once the cookies are cooked) and the salt. Stir to combine.
    • Take a tbsp. of the mixture in your hand, roll into a ball and then squash to flatten into a thick disk (approx. 1cm thick). Place on a baking tray and repeat until all your mixture is used up. You should get 6-7 cookies.

      Really like the look of this recipe but my son hates bananas. Can you suggest something we could swap the banana for that would still work with the recipe?

        Hi Sarah,

        I'm sorry but we haven't tried this recipe without the banana and I don't think it would work if you swapped it out. You could have a look at our No Bake Peanut butter granola bars https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/no-bake-peanut-butter-granola-bars or Hazelnut Nutella Cookies https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/gluten-free-hazelnut-nutella-cookies/

        Thanks

      I had 2 over ripe bananas and made banana bread last time so this recipe was perfect. They're in the oven as I type and the warm aroma wafting from the kitchen is just scrummy!

      Love these fab quick allergy friendly cookies. Great way to use that slightly too ripe a banana!

      my friend ( whom I gave your website to) said these were amazing. And since i have to be gluten and lavctose free for a little while it's so perfect !! ( as always)
      Do you think i could trade chocolate chips for raisins ?

      thanx Nicky !

        Hi Saz, sorry for the late reply. School holidays have left me so far behind on everything 🙂
        I'm so glad your friend liked them. Yes, I think they'd be great with raisins in - or maybe dried cranberries (love dried cranberries).
