Breakfast cookies
Chewy, filling and delicious. What more could you want from a breakfast cookie.
If you struggle to make time for breakfast in the morning, you need to try these.
They are filled with all the good stuff – rolled oats, nuts, nourishing fats and sweetened with banana, honey and dried fruit. They are basically a bowl of muesli in cookie form. Have them as a quick breakfast as you leave the house or enjoy them as a filling snack throughout the day.
Breakfast cookie recipe
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/4 cup mix-ins (such as pecans, walnuts, dates, sultanas, seeds etc)
- 30g dark chocolate (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius or 340 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix dry ingredients (oats, plain flour, cinnamon, baking soda and mix-ins) together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients (egg, honey, olive oil, and mashed banana).
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The mixture will be quite wet and sticky.
- Roll 1 tablespoon balls of mixture in your hand then place on a baking tray and gently press down. The mixture will not spread so be sure to shape the mixture before cooking.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the oven and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, melt the chocolate at 15 second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between. Once melted, drizzle over the cookies and let the chocolate set.
