  1. First, I used old-fashioned rolled oats and do not recommend using a quick-cooking oat in this recipe.
  2. I used almond butter, but you can substitute cashew butter or peanut butter.
  3. Additionally, I used a combination of dried fruit, dates and mango, in my cookies. You can use any one dried fruit or a combination of 2 or 3 as long as the total is 3 tablespoons. As well, you may use freeze-dried fruit if you prefer.
  4. You can use stevia, sugar, or omit the sugar altogether if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I used one tablespoon granulated sugar.
  5. Most notable, the riper the banana the sweet it will be. If you have a very ripe banana, you may want to use less sugar.
  6. Finally, store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Healthy Oatmeal Date Breakfast Cookies are moist and soft. They use simple ingredients that have tons of flavor.

    We have been trying to limit added sugar, sodium and fat. As cookie lovers, we have been missing a tasty and healthy way to satisfy our sweet tooth after my husband’s heart attack. This is the very first recipe I have tried that we actually enjoyed, not just tolerated! I left out the sugar and the salt, added reduced sugar dried cranberries because I had them, and used regular chocolate chips, again because they were on hand. Our only problem is that we both have to say to ourselves “one a day is enough!” I have even sent it to my daughter to try for her allergy sensitive daughter. Thank you for sharing this treat to add zip without guilt to our eating plan

    1. Thank you so much for the kind review. That’s exactly what I wanted/needed when I created these – a little indulgence without completely blowing my eating plan.
