Ingredients for Breakfast Cookies
- Bananas: Choose ripe bananas with brown spots to provide flavor and natural sweetness to this recipe.
- Oats: The base of these cookies is oats which makes it perfect for even your gluten-sensitive friends. I use rolled oats but quick oats work too!
- Applesauce
- Milk
- Egg
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Mix-Ins: The sky is the limit for add-ins in these cookies! I often use raisins and chocolate chips to keep them nut-free cookies for school. But chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts are a great addition to this recipe. Other options that are delicious in these cookies are dried cranberries, coconut, or pumpkin seeds. Sprinkle in some flax seed or chia seeds for added nutrition!
