These 3-ingredient breakfast cookies are ideal if you like to grab and go on your way out the door. Not only are they easy to make and nutritious, but they’re also delicious enough to make the kids happy.

Some mornings, I don’t mind spending a little bit of time in the kitchen. But there are days when my to-do list is a mile long, so I need something quick and easy.

Obviously, doughnuts aren’t the best things to eat first thing in the morning. I like cereal just fine, but I don’t always have time to sit down and really enjoy it.

So when I can grab a couple of cookies and know I’m getting the nutrients I need to keep me going all morning, I’m happy. The ingredients provide quite a bit of fiber, energy, and many of the essential vitamins.

I also make this oatmeal breakfast cookie, but it’s not quite as easy. However, if you don’t care for bananas, you may want to try it.

How to Make 3-Ingredient Breakfast Cookies

Not only are these breakfast cookies easy to make, but also you can do it the night before. The only tools you’ll need are a bowl, a fork, a spoon, a pan, and a baking mat.

First, peel the bananas and break them up into small pieces. Drop those into your bowl and mash them with the fork.

Next, pour in the oatmeal. Mix the mashed bananas with the oatmeal and set it aside to allow the oatmeal to become moist. Otherwise, you’ll wind up with crunchy oatmeal, which is fine if you like it that way.

Then, add the raisins and stir.

Finally, scoop heaping tablespoons of the batter and form patties. Since these cookies don’t spread while baking, they come out of the oven in the same shape they went in.

Put them in a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes before eating or storing them.

The cookies come out of the oven looking almost like they did before they were cooked. However, they’re slightly browner.

If you want to vary the taste, try adding other ingredients. For example, spices such as cinnamon or apple pie spice add a different element of flavor. You might also like a splash of vanilla.
