Thank you California Prunes for sponsoring this nourishing breakfast recipe!
Over the years I’ve realized what a difference it makes to the rest of the day when my mornings are started off right. I literally used to set my alarm for the last possible minute I could wake up and make it out of the door on time. This usually left me scrambling, frazzled (not on time), and sort of set the tone to feel behind all day.
Having a good breakfast ready to go is KEY to this!! If I’ve got a busy morning, I like to have something ready to go like overnight oats or chia pudding – or lately it’s been these One Bowl Breakfast Power Cookies. Breakfast is a great time to get all the goods in and get that sleepy digestive system moving. IF yours has been feeling particularly sluggish after the holidays, these cookies are on double duty!
I’ve partnered up with California Prunes for this simple, delicious recipe that will change your breakfast game!! I love getting to work with companies like this where there’s really no question of how amazingly beneficial they are – but do you think of prunes to be just for Grandma when she’s having a rough go with those bowels?
Yes, prunes are my go to when I need a little help moving things along (thanks pregnancy hormones) but they’ve also got some other pretty amazing benefits!
- Naturally sweet, you can substitute prunes for added sweeteners like sugars and syrups.
- With 3 g of fiber per serving, in addition to supporting healthy digestion, fiber also prevents blood sugar spikes!
- Bone health – prunes have been shown to reverse bone loss and preserve bone structure. The latest research shows that one serving (4-5 prunes) can reduce the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women!
- Antioxidant rich – the deep purple color of prunes comes from polyphenols – antioxidants that fight free radicals and help prevent cell damage
And plus, it’s always a good day when you get to eat cookies for breakfast! Want more ideas for healthy meal prep breakfast recipes? Click here!

Description
These power cookies are packed with all the goods- fiber, protein, oats…and a little bit of chocolate. Good enough to eat for breakfast and satisfying enough to be dessert!
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe banana
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, smooth (can replace for almond butter)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup ground flax
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ (45 g) cup of dark chocolate, chips or chopped chunks
- 3/4 cup (85 g) California Prunes, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the banana and mash with the back of a fork until a paste is formed. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and mix to combine well.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a fork until well combined. If ingredients aren’t sticking together, don’t be afraid to get in there with your hands!
- Scoop into 12 evenly sized balls. Roll them together to get them to stick and then flatten them out on the baking sheet – these won’t spread so it’s ok if they’re close together.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, depending on if you like them more soft or crispy. Remove from the oven and let them sit for 10 minutes before packing them up.

Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes 🙂

Thank you Michel! I haven’t tried them with dates but I assume you could! I like prunes for a lower sugar option but I think any dried fruit would do 🙂 Enjoy!
I made these this afternoon before my kids got home from school. They each had one for after school snack and they LOVED them! These are super easy– in fact my 9 year old made a second batch by himself to keep in the freezer! These will be great for a grab and go breakfast or snack.
That’s so awesome! Thanks for sharing Amy! Looks like you’ve got a little chef in the making on your hands!
I only have crunchy pb, can I substitute that in equal amounts, or will I need a bit more so it still binds ok? Thanks!
That should be totally fine! You can always add the same amount and if it seems it’s not quite sticking together, add more 1 Tbsp. at a time. Would love to hear how they turn out! Enjoy!
Loved these cookies! I have a huge cookie fan, and love being able to grab a couple from the freezer for breakfast I know that I am getting good nutrition to start off my day! These are delicious , Easy to make, and freeze well.
So happy you’re enjoying these Barb! Nothing like a good nourishing breakfast ready to go (especially when it’s cookies! haha)
These cookies are so easy, nutrient-packed and delicious! My kids loved them too. Admittedly, I added 2 eggs to the recipe for extra protein and binding. Lindsay was very helpful in making a few alternative suggestions for vegan binding agents.
I’m so happy you enjoyed them Danica! I often make them with eggs myself. I love seeing how you modify to you and your family’s needs! Enjoy!
Another great breakfast/ snack recipe. Quick and nutrition. Turned super soft and tasty. My 9 years old ate 5 right away. I think will have to double recipe next time.
Awesome Ewa! So happy it was such a huge hit. Definitely sounds like a good idea to double it up! these actually freeze really well too so making extra and storing in the freezing is a great time save (if they make it to the freezer) haha
Lindsay these are INSANE! This is a repeat recipe in my house. So delicious, filling, decadent, and nourishing.
That makes me so happy Jenna! Glad to hear this recipe also made it on the regular rotation!
