How to Make Banana Cinnamon Greek Yogurt Breakfast Cookies

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.

• Cinnamon
• Baking powder
• Salt

Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5: Scoop the Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.

Step 7: Cool

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
