These blueberry oatmeal breakfast cookies are filled with lots of goodness and what I like to call a mix between a muffin and a cookie.. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack later in the day. I think just telling yourself you are having cookies for breakfast makes it feel like a real treat 🙂 Don't wait too long to bake up a batch of these, I promise you'll love them!
Ingredients used
- Oats
- Flour
- Ground flax seed
- Brown sugar
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cinnamon
- Banana
- Egg
- Apple sauce
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
- Blueberries
If you do not have ground flax seeds, you can leave it out and use some extra oats to replace it, or if you have bran you could add in some bran to this recipe.
I use Quaker oats however quick oats are fine to use.
You can substitute the milk for almond or cashew milk. If you are out of apple sauce you can use extra mashed bananas to replace it.
I like using fresh blueberries but frozen blueberries will also work.
Store cookies in a sealed container in the fridge, they are best the day they are baked. You can freeze these cookies, let them dethaw, and then I like to pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes to warm them up.

These are wonderful! My husband and I both enjoy them, and easy to make! (Although I think he likes the blueberry oatmeal mini muffins a hair more 😉 )
Drizzle
Haha, well that's ok.. as long as he likes them all 🙂 Thanks for sharing, so glad you both enjoy!

What exactly does the banana do for this recipe..My husband has kidney problems and he can't eat bananas..What else could we substitute for bananas?
Drizzle
Hi, you can use apple sauce, or even some greek yogurt , I'd say apple sauce over the yogurt though
SKJ
Why did you give a 0ne-star rating to a recipe simply because your husband can't eat bananas? I'm sorry he can't but that has nothing to do with whether or not the recipe is good.
Crystal
Just wondering if you used a tablespoon for each cookie. It didn't say in the directions, I used 2 tablespoons so it made 21 cookies at 2 pts, just curious! Thank you!
Drizzle
I just dropped by small spoon then let people know my yield to get them to 1 point each 🙂
Sandy
If you used all applesauce, how much instead of the banana?
Drizzle
he recipe calls for one mashed banana which would typically yield about 1/3 cup- 1/2 cup

Tasty and healthy cookies = LOVE!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful, tasty, easy recipe. I made these cookies yesterday and my mouth did a happy dance when I tasted them!!! The rest of the cookies are now in the freezer. I have to tell you what I did though ...... I think this oatmeal cookie dough is very similar to the base of your banana oatmeal jam muffins .... so I divided the oatmeal cookie dough mixture in half. I added 1/2 cup blueberries to one half of the mixture and baked 15 blueberry oatmeal breakfast cookies. YUMMY!!! Then I pressed the other half of the mixture into 6 muffin cups ....... added the sugar free jam and baked them. I tasted one muffin and put the rest in the freezer. The banana oatmeal jam muffins are pure heaven. I love that I got cookies and muffins from the same recipe. Again, thank you for sharing your recipes.

Could I omit the ground flax seed or substitute something more common like more flour or oatmeal? I've never used flax seed. Thank you
Drizzle
Yes sure, you can omit and add a little extra oats , I buy it at our local bulk food store

gwen
can't use flax , is there a substitute?
Drizzle
I made as recipe states, you can try googling a sub for flax, or leave it out and use more oats
Janet
These are tasty, but I found them a little bland. A little sweeter would be good ?
Drizzle
Hi Janet, I keep the sugar very low but feel free to add a little more and adjust points
