🍌 Banana Blueberry Breakfast Cookies (Mediterranean-Style)

Soft, fruity, wholesome, and made with whole grains, nuts, and healthy fats — no refined sugar.

✅ Ingredients (Makes 10–12 cookies)

2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional boosts:
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut

🥣 Instructions

1. Preheat

Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add olive oil, honey (if using), vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Add oats, nuts, and a pinch of salt.
Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.

4. Shape the Cookies

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie.
Flatten slightly with a spoon — these will not spread while baking.

5. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden around the edges.

6. Cool Completely

Let cool on the tray 10 minutes so they firm up.
