3 Ingredient Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
These soft and chewy oatmeal cookies are bursting with blueberry flavor. They are just 3 ingredients and can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert or snack.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (77 g) halved fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup (123 g) mashed very ripe bananas
- 1 cup (88 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Add halved blueberries and mashed bananas to a large mixing bowl. Stir until they are evenly mixed.
- Add in oats. Stir until the oats are evenly mixed and fully coated in banana. The mixture will be thick.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough. Release cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 1.5 inches apart. Use the back of a metal spoon to press down on each cookie dough ball so that it forms a thick round disk. Smooth the sides of the cookie disks if desired. The cookies will not spread during baking so you want to shape the cookies to how you want the final outcome to be.
- Bake cookies for about 12-13 minutes or until the blueberries are softened (and just starting to release their juices) and the cookies are fully cooked. Let cookies cool before removing them from the baking sheet. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- This recipe works best with fresh sweet blueberries. Cut the blueberries in half before measuring out 1/2 cup. The reason for cutting the berries is so they are smaller and more evenly distributed throughout. It is also so that they will soften and cook faster because the cookies are not in the oven that long.
- Since the cookies are cooked only a short time, the blueberries will not fully release their juices when the cookies are done. It's okay if some of the blueberry halves still look plump. This way when you bite in, the soft sweet blueberry juices will release as you eat the cookie.
- Make sure to finely mash the bananas until very few lumps remain. Measure out 1/2 cup after the bananas are mashed. You will need a little more than one large banana to yield 1/2 cup of mashed bananas.
- The cookies are only lightly sweetened. If you want them sweeter, you can add chocolate chips, dried fruit or other mix-ins. You can also stir in 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey to the cookie mixture (or however much needed to taste).
- You can also add 2 tbsp of peanut butter or almond butter to the cookie dough to give them more fat and flavor.
