Breakfast Cookies: Taste & Texture
- Hearty, soft and chewy
- Filled with a ton of texture in every bite
- Scented with Cinnamon and Vanilla Flavors
- Oozing with melty chocolate Chunks
Cookies Ingredients:
Nut Butter: I like to use almond butter to make these cookies. You can more or less use any nut or seed butter you have on hand. Peanut butter is my close second preference.
Oats: Any kind of oats can be used to make today's recipe. Old fashioned or quick Oats. If want to make these cookies gluten free, use certified GF oats.
Banana: Make sure your banana is ripen. If not a fan of banana, any other fruit butter or even apple sauce can be substituted.
Nuts: Pecans, walnuts or peanuts all taste good in them. Try adding cranberries or raisins too, yum!
Chocolate Chips: Entirely optional. To keep these healthy you can even opt for dark chocolate chips like I did!
Apple Butter: Cookies taste best with apple butter, but if not available, apple sauce will work too
Sweetener: Any natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup will do here. I went for Maple syrup this time!
