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.

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Today's recipe is a breakfast recipe. We like unique breakfast recipes! Although planning for every meal of the day is important, planning ahead for breakfast is especially crucial. After all, who enjoys waking up hungry only to be faced with an hour of breakfast cooking time in addition to the countless other normal morning tasks? When I know ahead of time what I'm planning for breakfast, I'm able to either mix it up the night before or else mix it up earlier in the morning before my morning routine.
