Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Add the banana to a large bowl and mash well.
  2. Then add in the almond flour, applesauce, flaxseeds, almond butter, chia seeds, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Then stir in the oats and pumpkin seeds.
  4. Finally, gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate.
  5. Form small balls out of the dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Gently press down each ball to create a cookie shape, as these cookies don't spread on their own.
  6. Bake on the centre rack of the oven for 13 - 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Love this recipe - i tried it three times now and can't get enough of it.
I am not quite sure though why in my cookies the blueberries are all a bit smudged, so the cookies don't look as nice as on the picture. Is there a secret so the blueberries stay frozen longer?

Hello!

First, love your channel and posts. We use so many of your recipes and your content has been instrumental to helping our family adopt a more plant based lifestyle :) Breakfast cookies - SOOO good! I didn't have chia seeds, and I replaced the fresh blueberries with dried blueberries, and didn't have almond butter so used cashew butter! Soooo good! Thank you!!! Dianne

Oh, Dianne, you're much too kind! We appreciate the glowing review and insight so much. The substitutions sound delicious 😍

Hi Sadia, Robin & team!

Thank you for your amazing content 😍

Just a question… if I am unable to find *gluten free* rolled oats which the recipe suggests as a gluten free substitute… could I use gluten free flour instead? Start off with the suggested amount of rolled oats and just add until the batter is the correct consistency? I know it probably wouldn’t have the same texture… but I still want to try 😆 Would I still need to add the almond flour as well?

Any suggestion or estimate would be helpful!

Thank you 😊🙏🏼

PUL Team - April 14, 2022, 8:03 a.m.

Hey there, Bree, thanks for the question! Sometimes oats prepared in a gluten-free facility can be found in the organic aisle of larger grocery stores or online in case that helps.

As for a substitute, quinoa flakes may work better as a 1:1 alternative with a similar texture in baked goods such as this one if those are accessible. If it's desired to use flour though, we haven't experimented with it so can't say with absolute certainty. Perhaps starting with less, such as half, and adding more based on the consistency would work better. It's always easier adding more slowly than trying to make up for adding too much! We hope this helps for now and do let us know if you test it out :)

Awe we're glad the cookies were enjoyed, Sofi, and hope you're not feeling too stressed still! Sending a virtual hug your way 🤗

I used hemp seeds instead of flaxseeds, raspberries instead of blueberries and pecans instead of chocolate. The pecans were a great choice! I don't like the colour green in my cookies, so I'll substitute pumpkin seeds next time. Perfect amount of sweetness in these. Maybe I'll use more banana instead of applesauce next time (hard to find sugar/ sweetener free).

PUL Team - Feb. 6, 2022, 10:47 p.m.

Thanks for sharing the substitutions, Sofi, and do let us know if you have any other feedback :)

Perfect for my growing and active kids for breakfast. I make a bunch and freeze them for an easy to grab and go meal. Raspberries instead of blueberries has been our favorite lately.

Mmm love the use of raspberries, Mandi 😊

These were very yummy! Definitely a great nourishing snack :)💗 next time I will put a little more chocolate into them because I only used half of the required amount

I’ve made these twice now and love them! I pack them in my lunches or eat them for breakfast with coffee and some fruit when I’m in a rush. I’m also glad they don’t have any added sugars, they’re hearty and filling on their own without them :))

Natasha - Sept. 1, 2021, 7:20 p.m.

Wow! These were amazing! I'm a grad student, so quick healthy snacks such as these are my go-to. I gave some to my housemates, and they loved them, even more when they found out the cookies had no added sugar! Will definitely be making these a regular in the house.

Aw we're so glad to hear, Natasha! All the best with your studies 🤗🌻

I LOVE these but have since been tested and found out I have an almond allergy :( What swap do you think would work for the almond flour and butter?

PUL Team - Aug. 17, 2021, 5:30 a.m.

Hey Adela! So sorry to hear about the recent allergy. We can't say for certain as we haven't had a chance to test it out, but other PUL members have experimented with oat flour or all-purpose in place of almond flour in other recipes. For the almond butter, another nut or seed butter, such as peanut, sunflower seed, or hazelnut butter would work as a substitute.

You may also enjoy our Cowboy Cookies which are almond free: pickuplimes.com/recipe/one-bo… 😊 Happy baking!

Adela - March 21, 2022, 1:10 a.m.

Circling back (months later) but I used sunflower seed butter and oat flour (just ground up oats) in this with a touch of maple to offset the more tart flavor of the Sunflower Butter/Lack of almond sweet and they came out AMAZING! Darker than ones with almond butter but the flavor profile is very similar :) I might experiment with APF and tahini next.

Thank you!

If you are frezzing them do you bake them first or freeze the batter, then bake? Thank you 😊

PUL Team - June 21, 2021, 6:59 a.m.

Hi Cass, we personally enjoy freezing these cookies after baking them. We've found that allowing them to cool completely after baking and individually wrapping them works great for an on-the-go option. You could likely freeze the batter and bake the cookies later if desired. Let us know how it goes if you give freezing the batter a try 😊

These are my absolute favourite cookies of yours. I've been making them since you guys first posted it - at least a couple years now I think? I've even had friends ask for the recipe, they loved it! Such healthy ingredients too :)

These cookies are delicious and moist, of which the latter is attributed to banana and apple sauce. It’s amazing that they remain intact despite that the frozen berries thaw during baking. I used bilberries instead of American blueberries, as the former are smaller yet more filled with flavour and colour. Consequently, the batter became a bit difficult to handle whilst shaping the cookies. A trade off that was well-rewarded😋

PUL Team - April 2, 2021, 11:04 p.m.

Thank you for sharing, Louise! Using damp hands may help with forming the cookies. We're glad it was worth it though 😃

Louise Magnusson - April 3, 2021, 6:15 a.m.
