Description

A soft and wholesome air-fryer breakfast cookie bursting with oats, ripe banana, creamy peanut butter, and melty chocolate chips. This quick and satisfying morning treat is perfect for a nutritious grab-and-go start to your day, combining natural sweetness and hearty ingredients in a convenient air fryer recipe.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking the cookie evenly.
  2. Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth to help bind the cookie and add natural sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract with the mashed banana until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and chocolate chips until fully incorporated, forming a cookie dough batter.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Line the air fryer basket with a piece of baking paper to prevent the cookie from sticking and aid in easy removal.
  6. Shape the Cookie: Form the mixture into a thick, circular cookie shape, slightly flattening it for even cooking, then place it on the lined basket.
  7. Air Fry the Cookie: Cook the cookie in the air fryer for 7 to 8 minutes until it turns lightly golden on top and cooked through.
  8. Cool Before Serving: Let the cookie cool for about one minute after cooking so it firms up slightly, then enjoy your wholesome breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better binding.
  • Flatten the cookie slightly to ensure even cooking and avoid undercooked centers.
  • Add nuts or seeds like walnuts, chia, or flax seeds to boost texture and nutrition if desired.
