Vegan Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Cookies [GF, Oil-Free]
Soft and chewy 8 ingredient easy vegan breakfast cookies! Vegan, oil-free, gluten-free, flourless and naturally sweetened with bananas and apples!
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana about 2 large ripe bananas mashed well
- 1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter can sub for any nut butter. Make sure the nut butter is creamy and smooth.
- 1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats certified GF, if needed
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped apples plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all wet ingredients to large bowl and whisk well.
- Add all dry ingredients (except the chopped apples) to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Fold in the chopped apples and mix again.
- Using a large ice cream scooper, scoop out the dough onto the parchment paper. Use your fingers to adjust the shape to a cookie form and then flatten slightly so the cookies are about 3/4 an inch- 1 inch thick. You should have seven large cookies. Add more apple on top if desired.
- Bake for about it 10- 12 minutes until golden
- When the cookies are done, remove from oven and enjoy!If topping with the optional cashew maple glaze (below), I recommend only adding the glaze right before you enjoy the cookies. If you store them with the glaze on top, they will get too soft.
Notes
Optional Cashew Maple Glaze: add 1/4 cup creamy natural cashew butter to a bowl and then add maple syrup until it’s sweet enough to your liking. Then, add warm water, very little at a time, and mix well until it’s a glaze consistency.
