Different ways to change up this recipe:
- If you do not have ground flax seeds, you can leave them out and use some extra oats to replace them. Or if you have bran you could add that in instead.
- I use Quaker quick oats but any brand of quick oats is 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.
- Because I used frozen blueberries it does affect the color of the cookie slightly.
Tips and Tricks for Making Oatmeal Blueberry Cookies:
- Store oatmeal blueberry cookies in a sealed container in the fridge. They are best the day they are baked.
- You can freeze these cookies if you prefer. Let them thaw, and then pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes to warm them up.

I love these cookies. I eat them every morning for breakfast! So good.
So glad you enjoy them Vanessa 🙂
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 😉 )
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?
Hi, you can use apple sauce, or even some greek yogurt , I’d say apple sauce over the yogurt though
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.
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!
I just dropped by small spoon then let people know my yield to get them to 1 point each 🙂
If you used all applesauce, how much instead of the banana?
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.
You are very welcome, thanks for sharing your tips 🙂 so glad you enjoyed them!
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
Yes sure, you can omit and add a little extra oats , I buy it at our local bulk food store
These are amazing!! I am just curious, do you happen to know the nutrition of these !? Like calorie wise!! Made these a few times and love them every time! Thanks!

Hi! This recipe is amazing! I am curious if you happen to know the nutrition of them, such as the calories per serving !! Thanks, and again these cookies rock! Thanks for sharing your recipe
Hi, nutritional info is at the bottom of the instructions 🙂 so glad you enjoy them
can’t use flax , is there a substitute?
I made as recipe states, you can try googling a sub for flax, or leave it out and use more oats
These are tasty, but I found them a little bland. A little sweeter would be good ?
Hi Janet, I keep the sugar very low but feel free to add a little more and adjust points
