RECIPE: Good Morning Breakfast Cookies


I always worry about my other half eating a decent breakfast. He is usually rushing out the door in the mornings, if there isn't something quick and easy that he can eat on the run he usually forgoes eating breakfast all together.  These "cookies" are a great, easy go-to for those rushed mornings.
3 Large Bananas, mashed
1/2 C  Applesauce, unsweetened
2 C Rolled Oats
1/4 C Soy or Almond Milk
2/3 C Raisins (or other dried fruit, i.e. Blueberries, Cranberries, Apricots)
2 Vanilla beans, scraped or 1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 C Wheat Germ
1/4 C Golden Flaxseed Meal or Ground Flaxseed
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Cinnamon
Optional :
1/2 C Lowfat Greek Yogurt, Plain or Vanilla ( I add this for extra protein)
1/4 C Demerara Sugar
1/3 C Sliced Almonds
Handfull Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips
1)Preheat over to 350.
2)Mix all ingredients together in large bowl.

This recipe makes 24 good-sized cookies. I bag them up, 3 or 4 to a bag. I usually leave 1/2 of them out for the hubby to take for breakfast during the week and freeze the rest to use later.
