Gluten Free Blueberry Banana Almond Breakfast Cookies (V, GF): an easy one bowl recipe for delicious banana breakfast cookies bursting with juicy blueberries and crunchy almonds.The easy ‘n healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies you’ve been searching for! Vegan Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.
Seriously though, one of the only ways in which I stick to healthy eating is by eating cookies. But we’ll get to that (and these Gluten Free Blueberry Banana Almond Breakfast Cookies) in a minute.
Sometimes sticking to a healthy diet sucks. Yep, I just had to say it. Mondays Thursdays somehow always bring out the brutal honesty in me. Blergh! Side note: I totally wrote this on a Monday, but now that it’s a Thursday, I’m feeling a bit silly about all my grumpiness.
In any case…
Lately it’s been extra hard to stick to healthy eating. Even with these healthy lemon poppy seed muffins and coconut chocolate chip banana breakfast bars at my side. I always tell Erik, if I had it my way, I’d make everything from scratch, from ingredients grown in my backyard, make enough for everyone (like, hoooow many people is that, Demeter?!?) and just be in the kitchen, singing and dancing… with my bills magically paid by, erm, elves.
But let’s get real: none of that is going to happen. Any time soon. 😉 (A girl can have dreams.) What’s gonna happen is the following: trying my best to make *some* foods from scratch, packing up the healthiest of the batch to give to my mom, sis and her two kiddos, trying to waste as little food as possible, and barely getting by on a work-life balance.
While trying my darnedest to hit the gym up several times a week and make at least one fresh batch of gluten free banana oat muffins. And did I mention not go crazy?
Good luck, sister! Yep, I just said that. To myself.
Looks like the whole “not going crazy” bit is something I’ll just have to work on… tomorrow.
For today, I think I’ll work on what I know best… the thing I *can* actually do: bake. Make it easy, make it healthy, and make it from scratch. If I can check off one item this week that’s made from scratch, this is gonna be it.
If you ever feel like I do about this whole healthy eating/making it from scratch business, then I know you’ll love my gluten free blueberry banana almond breakfast cookies. They come together in about 10 minutes, bake for about that much time, and are ready to eat in a jiffy.
There’s just something about a healthy breakfast cookie that makes everything better. Everything more sane. Everything much more… doable.
So here’s to making healthy eating, healthy living, and just plain ol’ staying sane… so much more doable. One cookie at a time. 🙂

Pin RecipeDescription
Gluten Free Blueberry Banana Almond Breakfast Cookies (V, GF): a one bowl recipe for deliciously satisfying banana oatmeal breakfast cookies bursting with juicy blueberries and crunchy almonds. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas, ripened
- ½ cup natural, unsalted creamy almond butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes)
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract (vanilla is okay)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Add-in Ingredients
- ¾ cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Topping
- 2–3 tablespoons each: blueberries, sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add peeled bananas. Using a sturdy whisk or fork, mash until smooth. Add the remaining wet ingredients: almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, flax eggs and extract. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients: oats, baking soda and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, fold until well mixed. Fold in blueberries and almonds.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Optionally, press blueberries and almonds into the tops of each cookie. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness. They won’t spread much during baking.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes. Mine took 15 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, carefully lift cookies onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

July 29, 2018 at 11:15 amI have yet to make the actual recipe, but I LOVE this recipe as a base recipe. First time, I used peanut butter and Enjoy Life mini chips. This morning, I used homemade almond butter, shredded coconut, and chopped dried cherries and cranberries. This recipe is so versatile and so good! Thank you! I can’t wait to actually use blueberries and almonds in this recipe! lol

July 30, 2018 at 2:46 pmSo wonderful to hear, MJ!! I’m loving the sound of peanut butter and chocolate chips in this! Can’t wait to hear what you think of this combo! 🙂
Amber says
June 27, 2018 at 10:43 pmI upped the maple syrup, added 1/2 teaspoon salt and the zest of a lemon, they were amazing!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
June 28, 2018 at 3:44 pmOoh, I love the sound of that lemon zest! So happy you enjoyed them, Amber. 🙂
Vickie says
June 1, 2018 at 4:50 pmCan I use two regular eggs instead of the flax eggs?
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
June 4, 2018 at 3:08 pmHi Vickie, yes you can! Enjoy. 🙂

Vanessa says
May 29, 2018 at 1:45 pmYum! These looks delicious! Are they very crumbly?
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
May 29, 2018 at 5:52 pmHi Vanessa! Nope, these cookies are not crumbly. They’re wonderfully soft and firm. Happy baking!
Ericka says
April 25, 2018 at 1:13 pmDo these freeze well?
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
April 26, 2018 at 10:45 amHi Ericka! Yep, you can freeze these cookies. Let them thaw for a few minutes at room temp–heating in the microwave can leave them a little less firm. Enjoy! 🙂
Ashley says
April 21, 2018 at 8:21 pmThe batter is quite runny, is it supposed to be thicker? Just seems like they won’t hold very well.
Cathy @ Lemon Tree Dwelling says
April 20, 2018 at 8:02 pmWow do these look awesome! Such a great breakfast idea!
Ashley says
April 20, 2018 at 5:18 pmCan you use frozen blueberries, if they aren’t in season they are ridiculously expensive!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
April 22, 2018 at 6:54 pmFrozen blueberries should be fine—I’ve had some readers try it on otter recipes with good results. Happy baking Ashley!
