Everyone will love having cookies for breakfast! These vegan breakfast cookies are easy to make and easy to serve.
Jump to RecipeCookies for breakfast? Yes, please! And they’re vegan? Even better!
I’ve seen recipes before that were breakfast cookies but hadn’t ever tried them. I wasn’t sure how healthy they would be and I like to start the day off properly as much as we can. It also seemed like a lot of work to make cookies in the morning when we don’t have a lot of time on school mornings.
These vegan breakfast cookies can be made ahead of time and last for a few days in the refrigerator. You can heat them up before serving or eat cold. By changing out some of the ingredients from recipes I’d seen, I was able to make these vegan-friendly. You could also make them gluten-free if you use the right type of oats.
Step by Step
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 3 bananas, overripe, smashed
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, bananas, and almond butter.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop about 1 tbsp of mixture for each cookie onto a cookie sheet or baking stone. Note: they can be close together since they don’t spread.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until set.
Remove from the oven and leave on the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Leftovers
Store the vegan breakfast cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to 5 days this way. I like to eat them cold straight from the fridge, but you could also pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm up again.

Vegan Breakfast Cookies FAQs
No, you can substitute with any other butter. If you want these to be nut-free, try using sunflower butter. Peanut butter would also work if you can have that.
Regular chocolate chips contain milk. We wanted to keep these vegan, so used dairy-free vegan chocolate chips.
You can find them in most grocery stores down the baking aisle. They are typically with other baking chocolate. Otherwise, try looking in the health-food area of your store.

im not a good cook, to be fair I can say I’m a terrible cook but I`m surely going to try these out, with the clear and step by step explaining you did, I think I can pull this one off, maybe burned a bit because it seems I can`t even set the oven temperature right but this is a must try for me.
