Banana Oat Breakfast Cookies

Which sounds like a more appealing breakfast: a bowl of oatmeal with bananas and coconut on top, or cookies?

If you said oatmeal, your recipe isn't here today, but if you, like me, would rather eat cookies for breakfast, this is what you're looking for. It's healthy, it's simple, it's quick, it's a delicious cookie - and the ingredients are basically the same as a fancy bowl of oatmeal!



A restful kitchen in the morning starts the night before. Do the dishes, sweep the floor, and prep the breakfast. However, if you're like me and don't always have time (or remember!) to prep breakfast the night before, these cookies can jumpstart your morning. Quick, healthy, and delicious food = happy family = restful kitchen.

I usually add shredded coconut to this recipe, but sometimes I've also added sugar-free chocolate chips. I also rotate between making these cookies with mostly almond butter with just a tiny bit of peanut butter, and mostly peanut butter with a tiny bit of almond butter.

I also like using parchment paper every time I use my baking sheet or cookie sheet. Clean up is so easy, and I don't have to use oil or butter on the pan, and I don't waste food because nothing ever sticks.


Restful Kitchen's Review: Very delicious. Excellent recipe.

Egg Salad [Instant Pot Friendly]

Egg salad is a staple in our kitchen - an easy lunch the whole family loves.

I created this recipe using my Instant Pot , but you can boil your eggs on the stove if you prefer.
