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.

Healthy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Dirt Dessert was a favorite childhood treat of mine, usually only served once every few years. Creating a healthy version was definitely on my dessert wish list, and the first step was finding a way to make homemade chocolate sandwich cookies. This recipe proved even better than I expected!

Snickerdoodle Apple Cheesecake Pie is perfect for a special autumn occasion! This was a second anniversary treat for us, and "delicious" was our verdict.

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.
