These slightly updated cookies are yum! These give you 5 ticks off your Dr Greger Daily Dozen Checklist! You've got fruit, whole grain, flax, nuts/seeds, and cinnamon, so you've got spice! These are a great recipe for kids to make!
These cookies are awesome! The dough is also sweetly delicious straight from the bowl! This recipe came about when my three kiddos came storming at me wanting to bake cookies! That first time I only approved and suggested ingredients to add, and it was a pretty perfect combination! We've made these cookies countless times since. You probably can't go wrong if you include each of these ingredients, and the proportions below definitely work well!
Peanut Butter Banana Crunch Breakfast Cookies
1 c old-fashioned rolled oats
4 ripe bananas
1/2 c ground flaxseed
1/4 c chia seeds
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c natural peanut butter (believe it or not, this is actually optional)
~You could also add lots of unsweetened cocoa, which you might not even taste, but it adds more nutrition!
Mix everything up in one bowl, making sure to mash the bananas. Spoon dough onto cookie sheets. I use a silicone sheet over a thin metal baking sheet. You want to spread and flatten dough spoonfuls to about a half inch or less thick. They won't change shape while baking. Small cookies are good, so you have a lot of browning and crispiness on the edges. I bake them in a preheated convection oven at 375 degrees, for ~15-20 min. SO in a conventional oven, 400 degrees for closer to 20-25 min should be right :)
Enjoy!
After you get the cookies in the oven, watch What the Health!

Peanut Butter Banana Crunch Breakfast Cookies
(Original)1 c old-fashioned rolled oats
4 ripe bananas
1/2 c ground flaxseed
1/4 c chia seeds
1/3 c Grape Nuts* (they add an awesome tiny crunch!)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c natural peanut butter
*The Grape Nuts (or Trader Joe/Whole Foods Market alternative) are totally optional, as they contain a bit of sugar and salt in their ingredients, though there is only a 1/3 c in the recipe, which makes a lot of cookies.
