Who knew you could make healthy, gluten-free breakfast cookies with just two ingredients? Not me. But, I didn’t stop there. So here’s my enhanced version, including chocolate and nuts, that’s more like dessert but healthy!

Recipe Notes
- The number of cookies will depend on how much batter you use for each cookie.
- I used chunky peanut butter, but you could use regular peanut butter or other nut butter, if desired.
- Dark chocolate may have the most health benefits, but you can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer.
- You could leave out the walnuts, if desired.
- You may need more or less oats to make the batter thick enough, to your preference. I used gluten-free oats.
- If you want to be sure these cookies are gluten-free, be sure to check the packages you buy (but oats are naturally gluten-free).
- Serve these cookies with a side of fresh fruit, coffee, milk or just by themselves.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
Here's how to make them:
- Mash the bananas. Stir in the oats, adding enough to make a thick, not runny, batter.
- Add the cinnamon, peanut butter, walnuts and chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
- Drop heaping tablespoons full of the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 15 minutes. Serve with fruit, coffee, milk or just on their own!
