    Incredibly tasty, chewy, and healthy…..these Banana Breakfast Cookies are a great way to start your day! Yes, cookies for breakfast!

    flavorful breakfast cookies that have banana in them

    Is there anything better then a cookie for breakfast?? I think not! Well, now you can eat a cookie and not feel guilty! Naturally sweetened from the banana and honey, you don’t even need sugar in these!
    My husband is on a “healthier eating” kick right now to get back into shape. He’s been running in the mornings, trying to cut out the sweets, and trying to eat a bit more clean. If you’re married and your spouse has done this, you know it ends up being both of you participating, right?

    Last week, I made some oatmeal jars for him to enjoy for a quick, healthy breakfast. He absolutely loves them, so he’s always excited to see more jars in the pantry.

    However, there are only so many days of oatmeal jars he can eat before he starts eyeing the kids cereal. Reese Puffs, Lucky Charms, and basically any other sugar cereal I allow the kids to have during summer break.

    Looking for more breakfast options?? Check these out:

    Ham, Cheese, and Broccoli Crustless Quiche

    To change things up, I decided to whip up a batch of these banana cookies yesterday. I had a few ripe bananas to use up and figured it would change things up from oatmeal jars!
    Each batch makes about 10 cookies! At only 195 calories per cookie, you can have a cookie with your coffee, maybe add some fruit or yogurt and move on with your day! Or perhaps enjoy one as a morning snack, after working out, evening treat, etc.

    using oats, honey, and bananas, these cookies are healthy

    These cookies are packed with oats, banana, a bit of cinnamon, honey, and my favorite…chocolate chips. You can omit the chocolate chips if you want to get even more healthy. My sweet tooth always has to be satisfied, so adding 1/4 cup of chocolate chips was my compromise, hehe!

    Add some chopped pecans or walnuts for an added crunch and some protein!

    Ingredients Needed for these tasty cookies:

    Quick Oats

    Cinnamon

    Baking Powder/Soda

    Salt

    Bananas

    Honey

    Peanut Butter

    Vanilla Extract

    Chocolate Chips/Nuts (optional)

    enjoy cookies for breakfast without the guilt since these are healthy
