These healthy banana breakfast cookies are sweet, full of texture and incredibly nutritious! This is a baby, toddler and kid-friendly recipe. Only 5 ingredients are required to make these cookies.

My 14-month-old decided that breakfast wasn’t her favorite meal anymore (sad day for mom), so it challenged me to make her something that she wouldn’t be able to resist eating, but that was also healthy! That’s how this breakfast cookie came to be.

It’s easy to make and comes together quickly. All you do it mash some bananas, then add the ingredients together. You then form into cookies and bake! These cookies not only offer many nutrients including fiber, protein and healthy fats, but they only require 5 ingredients. No eggs, milk, butter or sugar are used. The natural sweetness from the banana, peanut butter and honey is all you need!

This is perfect to make ahead and keep in the pantry to grab! I hope you love this recipe as much as my toddler and I do!

Ingredients

You will need 2 ripe bananas, Peanut Butter – any nut butter will work, Maple Syrup, Pecans or Walnuts, Rolled Oats and Ground Cinnamon.

For Littles

My 14-month-old is obsessed with these cookies and goes crazy for them every morning. You can offer these to your babies at 9 months+! Make sure you finely mince the pecans as they can be a choking hazard to littles if they are served in big pieces.

These cookies are an amazing source of fiber (from the oats), healthy fats (peanut butter and pecans), and protein (oats and peanut butter). I always feel like Willow gets what she needs nutrient-wise when she eats one of these for breakfast.
