Starting the day right with these nutritious Breakfast Cookies! 🌞🍪 Packed with oats, nuts, and fruits for that morning energy boost. Perfect for on-the-go!
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 egg
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter or allergy-friendly substitute)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose, or oat flour, or gluten-free flour)
1 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup nuts and/or seeds (I used pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
3/4 cup dried fruit (I used chopped figs, apricots, and cranberries)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana, egg, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and peanut butter until very well blended, using an electric mixer or by vigorously whisking.
Add the flour and stir to combine.
Add the oats, nuts/seeds, and dried fruit. Stir together.
Using a large cookie scoop (or 1/4 cup measuring cup), scoop out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down on the top of the scoops to flatten them out, as they will not spread out during baking. Press the sides in as well, almost like forming a burger patty.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until slightly golden brown on the edges.
