Breakfast Cookies
Yes, you really can have cookies for breakfast! These easy Breakfast Cookies are soft, sweet, and secretly packed with the fiber and protein you need to stay energized all morning.
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- ⅔ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Use a potato masher to mash the banana in a large bowl, removing as many lumps as you can. Then, add the peanut butter, honey and vanilla and stir to combine.
- To that same bowl, add the oats, protein powder, chia seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon, and chocolate chips, then stir everything together with a rubber spatula.
- Use your hands to scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball, then place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until you have about 16 balls. Use the palm of your hand to press each ball down, flattening it out into a cookie shape.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, then wait a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
*These cookies don’t spread in the oven, so make them the size you want them to be!
*If you don’t want to include chocolate chips, I suggest adding ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to increase the sweetness
*Wet your hands slightly when forming the cookies so the “dough” doesn’t stick to your hands
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation.
