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.

How to Organize Your Whole Kitchen in Just Fifty Years

A restful kitchen is an organized kitchen. For me, what could be more relaxing than all the food items beautifully arranged in matching containers that perfectly fit together in the available space, easy to access, easy to use, and easy to maintain?  It seems attainable. After all, the internet is full of organized pantries that spark immediate aspirations to #kitchengoals: Image from How to Create the Perfectly Organized Pantry  I love this pantry from She Gave It a Go. Baskets, clear square containers, uniformity, just the right amount of space between items - both in how it looks and in ease of finding everything, it's a definite success.  Yet if I attempted to model my own pantry after this one, I'd give it a go and give up. For one, I don't have enough paper towels to fill three baskets, and if I did, I'd have to throw out my recycle bin and my oat bucket.  The point is, organization doesn’t have to and shouldn’t involve stress. It’s a...

Pumpkin Surprise Muffins

Easy and delicious, these gluten-free, low carb muffins are a staple in our kitchen. While they're a great choice in the fall with freshly-grown, cooked, and mashed pumpkin, they're also the perfect choice in the winter when I'm staring at my freezer wondering what to cook with all my frozen mashed pumpkin. I especially love this recipe because the surprise filling provides flavor and texture variety more than ordinary muffins, but these are still quick to stir together.
