Ingredients You’ll Need:

1 ripe banana, mashed – Acts as a natural sweetener and binding agent.
1/4 cup nut or seed butter (I used raw almond butter) – Provides healthy fats and a creamy texture.
1 tsp cinnamon – Adds warmth and a delicious flavor boost.
1/2 tbsp chia seeds – A great source of fiber, omega-3s, and helps bind the cookies.
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional) – Can also substitute with raw honey or any preferred sweetener.
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds – Crunchy and packed with protein and minerals.
1/3 cup organic raisins – Adds natural sweetness and chewy texture.
1 cup sprouted rolled oats (gluten-free) – The base of the cookies, providing fiber and a satisfying texture.
Flaky salt (optional) – A sprinkle on top enhances the flavors.

How to Make These Healthy Breakfast Cookies:

1️⃣ Mix the wet ingredients – In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, nut or seed butter, cinnamon, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth.

2️⃣ Incorporate the dry ingredients – Add the pumpkin seeds, raisins, and oats into the mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.

3️⃣ Chill the dough – Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to shape into cookies.

4️⃣ Shape and bake – Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small cookie shapes (this batch makes approximately six cookies).

5️⃣ Bake to perfection – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden.

6️⃣ Finishing touches – If desired, sprinkle with flaky salt while they’re still warm for an extra burst of flavor.

7️⃣ Enjoy! Let the cookies cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer freshness.
