Six Steps To Building Yourself…
The Breakfast Cookie
1. Mash and smash one super sweet, medium-large banana.
2. Add 1/2 cup of uncooked old fashioned oats and your favorite spices.
(I usually add 1/8 tsp. nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves and 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
3. Add 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa.
This is important if you’re like me and live for all things chocolate.
4. Add 1 Tbsp. chunky peanut butter and a tsp of your favorite jam.
(Raspberry, you know, goes very well with the whole chocolate thing you’ve got going on. Just sayin’.)
5. Smash, smash, smash everything together.
6. Roll out 4 portions in the palm of your hand, just as you would a meatball.
Top each cookie with an almond.
Sprinkle a pinch of coconut.
Serve with milk and enjoy each delightful bite.
If the mixture is too soft: Add wheat germ or wheat bran or crushed flax.
If the mixture is too firm: Add a Tbsp. or so of milk.
QUESTION: What are you eating for breakfast?
Running To Slow Things Down 
Wow this looks like an amazing recipe! I would definitely enjoy that with coffee! What would you rate the taste on this recipe?
Yum! I actually had eggs this morning! So out of character for me. I usually have greek yogurt with a mashed banana, oats, and spices.
The breakfast cookies look wonderful – I love the raspberry, chocolate AND coconut flavor 🙂
I had cereal this morning! It’s my new kick when I have to work.
These cookies look really good and really easy to make! Will try this out soon!
For the day that’s in it I’ve had a full Irish breakfast! It’s definitely not something you can eat all the time, but for Christmas and St Patrick’s Day, it’s essential!!
That looks way too decadent for breakfast!
Holy breakfast cookie, I’m in love!!!!!! WOW! That looks so good…and easy 🙂
I love how just changing the shape of something can turn it into some new and great! 🙂
I’m trying that this weekend!!! I’ve been dying to try the breakfast cookie, and I like this mini version best. I’ll let you know how I like it. 🙂
These look great! I will admit that I probably wouldn’t roll them into balls, but would just mash it up and eat it. I might even add some soymilk to thin it out a bit, and make it like a breakfast, pie filling oatmeal sorta concoction.
I use a food diary so I might tweak it a bit, but it sounds really great!
Let me know how it turns out for you! 😀
The few times I’ve tried to make breakfast cookies they’ve always failed (too runny!) but these look way too good not to try!! I love the chocolate-raspberry combination 🙂
