Breakfast Cookies

/

Ingredients

2 cups quick oats or old-fashioned whole rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/3 cup apple butter or apple sauce

1/2 cup mashed banana (about 1 large banana)

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

  2. Combine all of the ingredients into a large bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer). Mix until all of the ingredients are combined. The dough is thick and heavy.

  3. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, portion 1/4 cup mounds of cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten out into a cookie shape. (The cookies will not spread in the oven.)

  4. Bake for 16–19 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. Cover leftover cookies and store at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
