Really easy to make

Kids LOVE them!

These easy Breakfast Cookies made with peanut butter and banana are the perfect healthy start to your mornings! So simple to make, healthy, high in protein, gluten-free, sugar-free, and ideal for kids.

Healthy Breakfast Cookies are a perfect for start to the day when you’re on the go. Especially when time is tight and the chances of breakfast are slipping away.

BUT have you seen how expensive shop-bought breakfast biscuits are?! They are also often highly processed with lots of additives and sugar.

Here’s my solution. I love how simple these banana oat cookies are to make and the fact that I know exactly what’s gone into them. Ingredients are cheap and they taste amazing. All round winner.

They’re made using very ripe (in fact, the blacker the better) bananas, oats, peanut butter, cinnamon and chocolate chips are optional. 

This is a no-flour recipe, which means these are gluten-free Breakfast Cookies, (if you use GF oats) and there’s no refined sugar (you can also omit the honey if you prefer). 

I hope you enjoy these to start your day with a nice cuppa, or put them in your kids’ hands as they run out the door to school… perfect!

Other make-ahead breakfast options

Breakfast is often the meal people miss the most. Busy mornings without the time to put into making a healthy meal means it often goes on the back burner. 

But a good breakfast sets you up for the day and stops those pesky cravings later on. My saviour is make-ahead breakfasts that have been batch-cooked when I’ve had more time, meaning my future frantic morning self is saved from a rumbling tummy!

Here are a few other options to get you organised:

Breakfast Cookies Ingredients notes

• Bananas – These need to be very ripe for mashing, NOT firm or green at all. The banana skins should be very speckled, or (ideally) almost totally brown or black on the skins. Think ‘past their best’ as a piece of fruit for snacking on
• Chocolate chips – You can leave these out if you prefer, but they do add a bit of deliciousness

Top tip

The bananas need to be very ripe. Did you know that ripe bananas have so much more natural sweetness than very yellow bananas? 

When we have bananas left uneaten I just pop them in the freezer for whenever I need a ripe banana, which is great for reducing food waste.

Breakfast Muffins Ingredients notes

• Oil – Sunflower
• Eggs – I use free range
• Baby spinach – This does need to be fresh, as frozen won’t slice or cook in time
• Tomatoes – I use large salad tomatoes, cherry tomatoes chopped would also work
• English muffins – Bagels would also work
• Cheese slices – I like Leerdammer but whatever you prefer
• Bacon – I used streaky but any would be fine, or leave out to make vegetarian

How to make Bacon & Egg Breakfast Muffins

1. Put the bacon in the oven to cook and prepare the egg muffins and bake (as per the recipe below). Toast the muffins.

2. Make up the sandwiches with the bacon, cheese, cooked eggs and muffins. Wrap well and label.

Hint: Be sure to cook the eggs until JUST set. They will cook more when you reheat them so you don’t want them to be overcooked.

Substitutions

• Bacon: Use any bacon you like or leave out entirely, OR use a veggie alternative.
• Sausages: You could add sausages or sausage patties instead, or square sausage if you’re in Scotland.

Perfectly crispy bacon 

Cooks quickly with little mess

No oil, no faffing

METHOD: How to cook bacon in an air fryer

1. Pre-heat your air fryer for 3 minutes.
2. Place your bacon slices directly in the basket in a single layer.
3. Cook 5 minutes. Drain and fat (if you’re not using a rack), turn the bacon over and eat (if you prefer a pale colour and lightly cooked).
4. OR… once turned over, cook for a further 2 – 3 minutes for extra crispy bacon.

HINT: For bacon that’s perfect for crumbling in texture, drain again at the 7 minute mark and add another 2 minutes of cooking.
