Description

With no refined sugar, and healthy stuff like white whole wheat flour, oats, and peanut butter, these cookies are perfect for an easy breakfast on-the-go!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups multigrain cheerios
  • 1 cup raisins, semi sweet chocolate chips, nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
  3. In a microwave safe bowl, mix coconut oil, peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds. Whisk together, and then add egg, mashed banana pulp, and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until well combined. Add the cheerios and raisins or chocolate chips and stir until evenly incorporated.
  5. Drop 1/3 cup sized scoops onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until golden around the edges. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
