Ingredients

  • 4 whole Medium Bananas, Very Ripe
  • 5 cups Old Fashioned Oats
  • 2 cups Nut Butter (I Used Almond Butter, But Any Kind You Like Works!)
  • 1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts
  • 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
  • 2/3 cups Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Fresh Or Frozen Blueberries (don't Thaw If Frozen)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • With a fork, mash the bananas until smooth in the bottom of a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the blueberries and stir until combined-use your muscles! When batter is mixed, fold blueberries in very gently.
  • Use a 1/3 cup scoop (I use a measuring cup sprayed with cooking spray) to form large cookies on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each one.
  • Bake cookies in batches for 18 minutes. Let cookies rest for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat until all batter is baked.
  • Recipe adapted and doubled from Sally's Baking Addiction's Good Morning Sunshine Breakfast Cookies.
  • Notes:
  • I find that the 1/3 cup measure is perfect for a hearty cookie, enough to fill you up for breakfast. You can certainly make them smaller, just reduce the cooking time by a few minutes and bake these until just set so they aren't dry.
  • These freeze well, just thaw them on the counter for a few hours or in the fridge overnight.
  • I suppose you could leave the chocolate chips out for health purposes, but why?
