They’re crafted with ingredients you’d happily enjoy for breakfast, primarily sweetened with ripe bananas and applesauce, making them a truly guilt-free treat.

It seems my affection for cookies knows no bounds, but this time, it’s for all the right reasons! I’m thrilled to share a recipe that genuinely lives up to its name: truly healthy breakfast cookies. In a world where “breakfast cookies” often hide a multitude of unhealthy ingredients, these stand out as a beacon of wholesome deliciousness.

My culinary journey has often led me to question recipes labeled “breakfast cookies” that call for a cup of butter or a cup (or more) of sugar. While an occasional indulgence is perfectly fine, the idea of starting my day, or worse, giving my child, a cookie loaded with refined sugars and fats just doesn’t sit right. A single serving of such a cookie, large enough to keep hunger at bay until lunch, often packs more butter than I’d ever spread on toast and far more sugar than I’d sprinkle on my oatmeal. Plus, my ideal breakfast always includes a generous portion of fresh fruit – something traditional breakfast cookies often lack.
