5 Ingredient Breakfast Cookie (Vegan & Oil-Free)

[@cm13raindrop]

Oh I have to tell you, these are absolutely BRILLIANT! I'll admit to swapping the 1/4 cup plant milk out for 1/4 cup sorghum/molasses so my husband would eat them (he did) but I took these to work and all the girls wanted to share, I had to bring the recipe and enough for everyone the next day🤣 We're restaurant workers at a very busy truckstop diner, so none of us ever have time to eat properly or healthy. One of these for each of us, possibly along with one of those killer Almond Joy protein balls of yours that none of us can get enough of, packs enough punch to get us all through the worst of the shift. I will definitely be making these, every time I have leftover bananas - which is quite often because hubby's window of banana perfection is very small! I love how quick and simple they are (I put mine in a silicone muffin tray) and how the recipe uses items I already have in my pantry.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Hahaha I love the small window of banana perfection 🤣 I’m so glad you have loved these and it’s so cool to know you’ve shared them and passed the recipe around. This means so much to me and I’m glad Bryan convinced me to do a video for these cookies. I felt like I might get lots of “just eat a real cookie comments” but instead I’ve heard from so many like you who appreciate them as a healthier power up in the middle of a busy day 🥰 I’m glad the silicone muffin tray trick worked for you too 👍🏼❤️

[@tammysethman5365]

I make these all the time! Just add bananas, blueberries, cinnamon, & vanilla. 8 minutes in the air fryer.. then I flip them for another 4 minutes. Such an easy breakfast to take on the go

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Awesome to know you make them in the air fryer! I don’t have one yet but I always get questions about adapting recipes for an air fryer so thank you 👍🏼

[@happyandjoyful7916]

Love seeing you and your hubby together. You’re such a sweet beautiful couple. Your hubby makes a great taste tester! I can’t wait to try the cookies!🥰👏👏👏👏

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Aw thank you! I think I’m going to try and convince him to always come in at the end for the taste test! Everyone is loving seeing him 🥰 I’m glad you want to try the cookies! Let me know how you like them! ❤️

Thank you so much 🙂

[@elsmooth12]

Love the recipe…my wife’s eyes lit up, and we’re definitely gonna try it! My current go-to evening “dessert” is similar, but unbaked. In a bowl I mash one banana with one tbsp peanut butter (homemade)…stir in a dash of cinnamon and one tbsp of cocoa powder. Then fully mix in 55 grams of rolled oats and 15 grams of raisons (or dark chocolate chips), cover and let sit on the counter for a couple of hours until I get hungry post-dinner. After watching your video, I may tonight decide it’s time to see how it would bake up in the air fryer...thanks for the inspiration!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh interesting! That sounds great! Let me know how it turned out in the air fryer if you tried it! I haven’t tried putting some cacao in these… I’ll have to do that for my next batch 👍🏼 It’s nice to know you and your wife are watching together ❤️hello to you both!

[@elsmooth12]

Hi there! My wife made the cookies per the recipe and they turned out amazingly well! As for my air fryer experiment with my dessert, the "batter" was a bit loose to form cookies, but they did make really good fudgy rounds when baked off after simply scooping and placing on a silicone mat...better than I thought they were gonna be (I think the particular banana I used that night was much larger than typical). The cocoa powder was originally added for an antioxidant and fiber boost, but I've grown fond of the flavor depth it adds. I'd love to hear your opinion if you try it! Thanks again for sharing! 👍

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

@@elsmooth12 great! I’m so glad you two loved them and your air fryer experiment turned out pretty tasty! I am probably going to make another batch of these cookies this weekend so I’ll add cacao and report back!!

[@susanlaane9320]

This is great. I’ve been kinda wanting a cookie in my life lately… lots of ideas! Thanks again- looking forward to next week’s video- we went to Bali a little over 10 years ago. I don’t think I have ever completely left either- paradise ❤

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha it sticks with you 🌴☀️🌊 it’s definitely a special place and I hope you love the video! It will bring back some memories 🥰 I’m glad you liked this one and I second getting a cookie back in your life 😝!

[@Amelia-qm6bk]

I made your falafil recipe this week. Perfect taste and hold well. I cooked them in my air-fryer without oil. These cookie look great. Will be trying both . I love that Brian joins you for the tasting. ❤❤

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh great! I’m so glad you loved the falafel and thanks for letting me know they worked in your air fryer! I don’t have one yet so I bake them for an oil-free option but the air fryer is probably even quicker and gets them a little more crispy I’d think 👍🏼 I’m glad you like the look of the cookie and yes we’ll maybe have to make it the new normal to have Bryan join me at the end!

[@ladynymue]

I make oatbars for my husband as he gets lazy for breakfast but they are similiar to this. I've wanted to make a cookie version but havent figured out to adjust the ingredients so thank you for doing the hard work for me. :)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha perfect! You’re welcome 😝🥰 I hope he enjoys them! They can at least be a starting point and you can play with the recipe a bit to incorporate some of the elements of your oat bars! Let me know if you ever need to brainstorm about how to make any adaptations!

[@jackiesibblis3793]

They come in handy for breakfast before the gym.

[@BlueNorth313]

I've been getting a little bored of having porridge for breakfast every day, this is perfect

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh great! I’m glad this will be another option for you 👍🏼!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

🍪Drop your favourite cookie flavours below!! Are you a classic choc chip lover, oatmeal raisin, dark chocolate crinkle 🤔??

[@edus82]

Choc chip 🤤

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

@@edus82 ya you can never go wrong with a classic! I have a really simple chewy almond flour choc chip cookie on the blog & a video for it on YT! I’ve been itching to make that one recently actually (maybe I’ll have to throw it together next week 😋)!

[@edus82]

@@TastyThriftyTimely I’m sure it’s amazing, at the moment I really can’t afford extras such as almond flour, but hoping I can in the future and would love to give it a try :)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

@@edus82 yes almond flour is definitely not a staple for us either because it’s so much higher priced. I store it in my fridge too because I use it pretty infrequently. I’ve actually never tried those cookies with something like oat flour… 🤔I’m curious how that would turn out. There may be an experiment there lol 😜

[@edus82]

@@TastyThriftyTimely yes that might be a good idea, maybe adding some peanut butter too. We shall experiment :)

[@merrill997]

FYI: My boyfriend was a pastry chef… When I started making similar cookies he suggest I use an ice cream scoop to make my cookies uniform and then I just flatten with my fingertips. Makes making cookies super easy :)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Ya great tip thank you! I only have a small scoop but I’ve definitely thought of getting one that is a little larger for cookies! Good reminder 👍🏼 (I’ll take any tips I can get from a pastry chef 😅)

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Good tip.

[@elainec1833]

I did the same too, super easy and less messy :)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

👍🏻 love this tip!

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Love these healthy recipes 🎉🎉

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Good to know! Thank you. I always wonder if they are too simple and if others will like them so it’s good to know I’m not alone and I should keep sharing these! ❤️

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Have ripe bananas will make them foe sure.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Yay! Keep me posted and let me know how you like them!! 🥰

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Ok..will do

[@jackiesibblis3793]

Made them and added pumpkin seeds. Nice. Love the no sugar. I added a tablespoon of date paste. Love they are oil free also. I use very little to no oil. Too much calories in oil. Watching my cholesterol.

[@maggiezemanek9656]

How about a chocolate peanut butter cookie? Can use a little maple syrup for natural sweetness.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oooo I loooove the sound of that!!! ❤️🤤

[@kathiemott3988]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Since I am unable to find dried cranberries that don't have added sugar, I would substitute raisins or chopped dates instead. Maybe some tamarind once the pit has been removed. If I am able to find a non-dairy, unsweetened form of chocolate chips, I would also use those. Was used to be able to find those at Trader Joe's, but now live where there isn't one. Is there a reason for using the quick oats as apposed to old fashion oats? I very seldom if ever add any sweetening to my foods that are normally sweet because the fruits used are already sweet. I miss being able to have chocolate mint cookies. Have yet to find a vegan recipe for this.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

You can definitely use old fashioned oats! I always tend to have quick oats on hand but rolled oats will be perfect 👍🏼 and yes I love chocolate mint cookies too! Is it the thin mints cookies you’re thinking of? I’ve been wanting to try a version of those.

[@kathiemott3988]

@@TastyThriftyTimely Yes, it is the thin mints! I miss the combination of mint and chocolate together.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

@@kathiemott3988 yes I have a recipe (and video) for chocolate coated peppermint patties because I always loved those too. I was able to make them with less sugar by using coconut for the filling instead of just powdered sugar. I’ll definitely get to work on a thin mint thought!

[@ekramehsas6948]

Amazing, the banana nut version looks great! I would add raisins to it for some natural sweetness though :) Are these considered healthy or nutritious?

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh that’s a great idea to sneak some sweetness in there! I definitely consider these nutritious, especially for a cookie! There are sugars but they are mostly natural (especially if you have unsweetened cranberries and applesauce). They have lots of fibre and many vitamins and minerals. All that said, I still wouldn’t eat too many in a day but a couple as a snack are definitely more wholesome than a packaged alternative.

[@claudiahost8673]

I use either golden or regular monkfruit as a sweetener. No calories and no sugar spike. I might try dried blueberries and almond or lemon extract in this inviting oatmeal breakfast cookie. Or, dried apple & walnuts?!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

All of those options sound AMAZING! I love that these cookies and easily adaptable and customizable! You’ll have to let me know what combination you go with and what you like the best! 👍🏼

[@dellasmalley6097]

Mine is Oatmeal with Raisins.😊

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I like a good oatmeal raisin too 👍🏼I’m on board with that 😋

[@elainec1833]

Omg, those are so so delicious. I actually added some almond flours and flaxseed. My husband loved them so much and eating without any guilt 😅

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to try them with flaxseed for sure. I’m so glad you both like them 😆 enjoy!!

[@edus82]

I never understood the purpose of adding sugar (or any sweetener) to banana sweetened recipes. I never did even if recipes called for added sweeteners. The banana is sweet and it sweetens the baked goods :)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

It’s been nice to hear that so many others are open to keeping these cookies really simple and just letting the natural sweetness shine! Thank you for letting me know you approve! 😅

[@Pandore29]

oooouuuhhh !!! a new lovely snack to eat with my boyfriend :P i need to buy bananas lol ♥ thank youu Bryan is so sweet :)

[@jackiesibblis3793]

How would you cook these on the stovetop ?

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Hmm I’ve never tried that but I’m thinking you could cook them over very low heat on a non-stick pan and maybe turn them after 7 minutes or so if the bottom side is dry. A couple recipes I quickly looked at for stovetop cookies took around 15 min at a low temp. Let me know if you try it!

[@mayito8531]

Yay 😃 no added sugar!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

@@mayito8531 good to know you like that! I always prefer trying to create recipes that are as oil and refined sugar free as possible so it’s great to know that others appreciate that too!
