Are you like me and barely leave yourself enough time in the morning to get out the door? Are you looking for an easy and healthy make ahead breakfast your can prep on Sundays? Then I've got you covered! These banana oatmeal cookies are all of those things. Plus they're delicious!

I shared my apple cinnamon breakfast cookies last year and got such great feedback I thought it was about time I made another version! This one is only 3 ingredients. Ones that you might have in your pantry and fridge at this moment.

I love the idea of eating a cookie for breakfast. The gluten free oats are full of fiber and complex carbs and there's protein from the egg. You could even add a scoop or two of protein powder to them if you want.

The additions to this banana oatmeal cookie recipe are endless. You can leave them simple with three ingredients or add in your favorite things like chocolate, nuts or even raisins!

Ingredients for Banana Oatmeal Cookies:

Oats gives this recipe structure and flavor. I like to use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats. You can pretty much get them at any grocery store!

Bananas should be ripe and they bind the oats together and give this recipe some natural sweetness.

One egg also helps bind the ingredients together and adds a little protein to this recipe.

Some of my favorite additions: cinnamon, walnuts, Enjoy Life dairy free chocolate chips, raisins, pecans or any other dried fruit!

      Hi Ashley! Yes you should be able to use the quick cooking rolled oats, just try to avoid the instant oats because the texture will be different.
