Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, chia seeds, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, and optional chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Gently flatten the cookies with the back of a spoon or your palm to create a cookie shape, as they won't spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the breakfast cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
