You can make healthy, flourless breakfast cookies using 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, plus a mashed banana or honey for sweetness. [1, 2]
Ingredients
- Rolled oats: 2 cups (divided or blended slightly if you want a finer texture)
- Greek yogurt: 1/2 cup (plain or vanilla)
- Egg: 1 large
- Sweetener: 1 mashed ripe banana or 1/4 cup honey/maple syrup
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Optional add-ins: A pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or dried fruit [1, 2, 3, 4]
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana (if using) and whisk it together with the egg, Greek yogurt, honey or sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until a thick dough forms. Fold in optional chocolate chips or dried fruit.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop rounded spoonfuls of the dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they will not spread much on their own.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. [1, 5]
