Banana Breakfast Cookies (Paleo, Vegan, Nut Free)

These simple Banana Breakfast Cookies are made with tigernut flour and only sweetened with bananas (and chocolate chips if you choose to use them).  In addition, these healthy cookies are Paleo, Vegan, nut free, and allergy friendly.  This is an easy cookie recipe love by kids and adults!

Sometimes I get tired of our usual breakfast and want to switch things up.  And lately, breakfast cookies are my favorite way to do that.

I mean, who doesn't love a cookie for breakfast?!  Or really, any time of day.

But this isn't just "any" cookie recipe.  Nope!  These Banana Breakfast Cookies are:

• Paleo
• Vegan
• allergy friendly
• dairy free
• nut free
• egg free
• grain free
• gluten free
• only sweetened with bananas

Whew, that's quite the list!  And, I'm sure after reading this, you're wondering what exactly IS in these cookies.

Ingredients in Banana Breakfast Cookies

• banana
• coconut oil
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• tigernut flour
• ground flax
• baking soda
• salt
• chocolate chips

The main ingredients in these cookies include tigernut flour, ground flax and banana.  Because of them, this recipe is Paleo, Vegan AND allergy friendly.

Tigernut flour is made from tigernuts, which are small root vegetables.  I love baking with this nut free, grain free flour because it is naturally sweet and fairly easy to work with.

The ground flax acts as a binding agent for these cookies.  It is necessary since this is an egg-free recipe.

Bananas are used to sweeten these cookies.  Since these are breakfast cookies, I decided no other sweetener was necessary.  However, you may add some honey or maple syrup if you'd prefer.

How to Make Breakfast Cookies

These cookies are made in one bowl, baked in the oven and then ready to eat!

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Then, peel the banana and mash it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.  Add in the coconut oil and vanilla and mix well.

Next, mix in the dry ingredients.  And lastly, fold the chocolate chips into the batter.  The chocolate chips can be left out or substituted with anything from chopped nuts to dried fruit or sprinkles.

Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a baking sheet.  (The cookie scoop I used holds approximately 2 tablespoons of dough.)  Then, bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 18 minutes.
