I recently saw a blog post about some simple cookies made from oats, banana, and any mix ins desired. The post suggested cinnamon, walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips. I first tried just cinnamon and walnuts, and eh, they were alright. I did find them to be quite satiating though.
This morning, I decided to revamp the recipe and have some cookies for breakfast. One of my favorite types of oatmeal is chocolate peanut butter (which you can find here!), so I decided to make them similar to that. They were very tasty, and a fun way to have my morning oatmeal.
So here’s how to make them (roughly):
Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick oats
1 mashed banana
dash of vanilla extract
2 tsp cocoa powder (or so)
pinch of brown sugar (or any sweetener really; I only have brown sugar at the moment)
chocolate chips (not too many…this is supposed to be a little healthy!)
peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine everything except peanut butter in a bowl. Form into 8 small cookies and place on greased baking sheet. Pat down cookies and make small indent in center. Place a dab of peanut butter on each cookie. Bake for 15 minutes. Eat entire batch, if you desire. Be happy because you just had cookies for breakfast.

Any excuse to eat cookies for breakfast is a good one!
