What makes the perfect breakfast cookie? I've determined that people like a low-sugar cookie. They also really like oatmeal. As far chocolate? Less is more. These breakfast cookies are easy to make, assemble and serve-and are definitely not your average oatmeal-and-raisin cookies.

Ingredients

3 large, ripe bananas

2 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup peanut butter (my family prefers chunky)

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup honey

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. 
  2. Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, cinnamon and salt, and stir until just combined. (The mixture may be thick and hard to stir.) 
  3. Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop, and form balls with your hands, pressing the dough together very tightly. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Wish I read reviews prior to making this recipe. It is very bland. After making my first batch of cookies I greatly altered the recipe so as to add flavor. It definitely took away from the healthy aspect of the original recipe but it was edible.
