Cookies for breakfast! Oh yes you CAN with these deliciously healthy blueberry banana oatmeal cookies. They’re super easy to whip up and even easier to devour with tonnes of blueberry flavour in each bite.
It feels so good to be back!
But Amanda, you’re thinking… you didn’t even go anywhere.
Well, no. I didn’t (thanks for rubbing it in, by the way), but it feels good to be posting on a Saturday again after taking 2 weekends off to accommodate holidays and a massive recipe fail. I’m still working on rectifying the latter, by the way. Delayed victories are coming. Eventually. Either that or I’ll just never mention it again and hope you guys forget 😉
But it really does feel good to be back on track. I’m not super militant when it comes to schedules, and I’m not really bothered by spontaneity when it comes up, but when left to my own devices? I’ll pretty much stick to a routine that you can set your watch to… if you don’t mind your watch randomly resetting itself and running on a different clock sometimes.
I can’t help it, though – it’s the “J” part of my INFJ personality. And while I don’t typically put a lot of weight on those kind of tests, that one has me figured out pretty well.
It’s kind of creepy, actually…
But that’s neither here nor there. You guys came here for cookies, and cookies you shall receive. Blueberry banana oatmeal cookies, to be exact…
… which I just ate 3 of. For testing purposes, obviously.
See, I always like to make a recipe multiple times, even if it comes out well the first time. I’ll make slight changes, like varying up the sweetener or the amount of flour, and then give you guys the version that was the best received.
That would be Trial #2 for these guys. Less flour + a little extra coconut oil + coconut sugar as a sweetener = a super soft breakfast-type cookie with a crazy amount of blueberry flavour in each bite. Like… crazy, crazy. To the point where I feel like I need to toss up a disclaimer and encourage you guys to let the cookies cool before you try to eat one so that you don’t burn your mouths on the molten inferno that is a hot blueberry. Not that I’ve done it myself or anything…
So, yeah! I hope you enjoy these vegan cookies. They’re crazy easy to whip up, and I’m betting you have all the ingredients on hand… especially now that it’s summer and the berries are flowing like water. And if you don’t have any berries? I have a similar recipe that uses chocolate chips.
Happy eating!

Blueberry Banana Bread Oatmeal Cookies
- Total Time: 18 mins
- Yield: 12 cookies 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (60 g) whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup (40 g) quick oats*
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 medium-sized ripe banana, mashed (100 g or 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup (50 g) coconut palm sugar**
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (105 g) blueberries***
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the banana, sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball between your palms. Drop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet and gently flatten it with your fingers. The cookies don’t spread much, so shape them the way you want them to come out of the oven.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges begin to turn golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from oven and let cool them for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
* You can also use old-fashioned oats, but the texture might come out slightly chewier. ** You can also use brown sugar. *** I recommend using fresh blueberries for this recipe, as frozen ones will bleed during mixing and you’ll end up with purple cookies.
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 8 mins

I used butter instead of coconut oil, and added dried cranberries and walnuts to the mix. Left them in for an extra 5 minutes. Delicious! Thank you for sharing
I made some substitutions, the results were still phenomenal! For the flour, I used America’s Test Kitchen gluten-free flour blend. Avocado oil instead of coconut oil. Old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats. Next time I’ll try dropping the sugar by half, and probably add 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum.
These are certain to become a regular in our household.
Can I substitute something else for the coconut sugar and the coconut oil.
Hey Amanda, thanks for posting this recipe. I’m a huge fan of your blog and always look forward to receiving notifications of your daily posts. Please keep those recipes coming!
My fiance’ is really interested in trying these, but I’m gluten-free and was wondering what you might suggest substituting the whole wheat flour with in order to maintain the integrity of the cookie. Looking forward to your reply. All the best! Fabiola
So I went ahead and baked these with brown rice flour instead of whole wheat and substituted the whole wheat flour with 3 oz. of brown rice flour and added a teaspoon of xantham gum and baked on my 15″ Pampered Chef Pizza stone at 325 degrees instead of 350 for 5-10 minutes longer until the outer edges turned brown, and they turned out delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!!!
I’m so glad you liked them, Fabiola! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know and for sharing that brown rice flour works.
Thanks for sharing this great recipe
This is one of the first times I have followed a recipe to bake cookies. I looked online for a few and settled on this. When I was measuring out the ingredients I was convinced it was wrong, but persevered (as it was probably me unable to work the scales! Lol). Anyway I continued, used some brown sugar and honey instead. My dough was sticky, but again it was me making adjustments. I put it in the oven and wow, wow, wow, the best thing I have made, the tasted A-mazing!!! Thank you so much!
You had me worried there for a second! I’m so glad you ended up loving the cookies 🙂
This is one of the best Recipe, you have shared online. I will surely give it a try

What an amazing combination, healthy and delicious. All ingredients fit very well with each other. Definitely gonna try this at home. Thank you so much for this lovely recipe.
As soon as I saw this cookie I was able to prepare for my daughter’s birthday party this weekend. I will definitely follow your recipe instructions so cookies can fit into that birthday party. Thank you for sharing this recipes.
It seems like your oatmeal cookie recipes have stimulated me to do them right the next day. They are very attractive to me when enjoying in the morning with a cup of coffee.
I need to make these asap – my son would totally enjoy them for breakfast! he has been horrendous about eating breakfast lately.
Oh my gosh. This blueberry banana oatmeal cookies is crazy good! I haven’t had one…must try this vegan! You are rocking it!
haha ! I love this . Seriously you give me something which will give some good taste to my tongue. Really this sounds too good.
It looks yummy! I Love it.
Thanks for sharing this article.
blueberry banana oatmeal is recipe is very useful to me i like banana that’s why thanks for sharing this article
I need to try this recipe. They looks so delicious. Combination of bananas and blueberries is excellent. Thanks for the sharing.
Hey, I love your oatmeal cookie recipes. However, I find them a bit too sweet for me. If I reduce the amount of maple syrup, would it drastically affect the chewiness and texture of the cookies?
There’s no maple syrup in this recipe, so if you wanted to reduce the amount of sugar, it shouldn’t make a huge difference 🙂
This really looks so yummy and I will defiantly be going to try it this evening. Thanks for sharing.
Delicious looking blueberry banana oatmeal cookies.Thanks a lot for it’s introduction to the masses. I have jotted down all the recipe.Hopefully try sometime…Thanks once again Amanda.
Wow!! Healthy Cookies, I really need it. My gym trainer told me to have oatmeal, Now I am surely going to listen him. This combination is unique Banana-Blueberry and Oatmeal, waiting to have it this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Not that this is a surprise, but this was another huge success! 😉 Made these for breakfast because I wasn’t feeling my usual oatmeal or pancake weekend staples. Was scrolling through my bookmarks based on ingredients I had and found this gem, and quickly whipped them up to enjoy on a rainy morning. So tender, moist, slightly sweet, and bursting with juicy blueberries. Love! I also halved the sugar, and it was just perfect. 🙂 Thanks, Amanda!
I’m so glad you liked them, Nicole! I was seriously obsessed with these, and I recommend sticking a few in the fridge and tying them cold. SO GOOD!
I love these, mainly because I adore cookies and the combination of bananas and blueberries. In fact, I’ve got my own banana blueberry goodness coming soon, in a totally different format though. 🙂
Whatever it is, I want it! Seriously one of the best combos, and if you’re doing it? You KNOW it’s gonna be good.
I’m ESTJ and it’s super scary how accurate it is! :-S
I would so love to have one of these right now. They looks so delicious and your photos are beautiful.
Thank you, Celeste!
I’ve never taken the personality quizzes before. I don’t really think it would change the way I do anything. I simply am the way I am. I love the look of these cookies though! I’ve never had blueberries in cookies (fresh ones I mean) but you really can’t go wrong with fruit this time of year. Did you change anything about your life or maybe the way your approach things once you found out your personality type?
Nope! Didn’t change a thing in how I did things or thought about myself, because like you said – I simply am the way I am 🙂 I think it’s just meant to give a little more insight and understanding.
If there’s anytime to give yourself a little break, it’s summertime. That’s what I’m telling myself at least. 🙂
I’m sure your other recipe will work out but in the meantime, these cookies look perfect! I love the blueberry banana combo plus the fact that they’re made with healthy ingredients? Major win.
I need to make these asap – my son would totally enjoy them for breakfast! he has been horrendous about eating breakfast lately.
… and he’s YOUR son?!?! I don’t believe it.
Even though I’m not a big blueberry person, these look enticing! You always do that…😜
I am a Myers-Briggs nerd and am totally obsessed! In fact I have been getting into a more in-depth study of the subject via a podcast + website/articles that I LOVE, and am planning on taking their Profiler Training this December. So I’m always trying to profile my friends/online friends from afar. 😂 Yeah, totally crazy. (And in case you were curious, I’m an ISFJ.)
Crazy? No way! That’s totally awesome. I studied quite a bit about personalities in school, but my interests veered more towards the realm of abnormal psychology, so a lot of it was related to personality disorders. Have you heard of the site Introvert, Dear? So many great articles on there – http://introvertdear.com
Trial two for the win! And I’ll gladly be your taste tester anyday! Mmm k? Blueberry heaven. Wish I had these growing up. The perfect breakfast fuel
Blueberries have been so cheap at my grocery store I’ve been feeling generous enough to bake with them! I can definitely do for some healthy cookies!
I LOVE soft breakfast cookies. I actually just made blueberry oatmeal cookies yesterday, but these look even softer! 🙂
I polished mine off and I’m seriously having withdrawals. I didn’t realize how good they taste from the fridge 🙁
These look amazing! Blueberries are by far one of my favorite things to enjoy during the summer, and a cookie is the perfect vessel to showcase their yumminess 🙂
Crazy, crazy amounts of blueberry flavor?! Sign me up! These sound delish Amanda!
Thanks Victoria!
A little extra coconut oil and coconut sugar works for me! Love how juicy and chewy these look. Stormy blueberry cookies for the win 🙂
