Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies

So my co-workers, friends, and a few of you had asked about my transition from whole30 and what’s my plan? To be honest, I don’t have a plan per say, I will eat everything like before but be more mindful of my choices. For the next couple of weeks I see myself eating more plant-based meals because I am kind of sick of eating meat. 

I won’t trick you by saying these Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies are the softest, yummiest cookies ever. No, these just aren’t but I am confident that you will love them for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. It taste like banana bread, there is a slight crunch from sunflower seeds and walnuts. Dark chocolate makes everything better..if you know what I mean. The texture is a cross between a cookie and a chewy granola bar. And did I tell you it requires only one bowl and 30 minutes total. 

Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies (recipe from here)
makes one dozen

Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
2 cup old-fashioned oats (oat flour should work too)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut chips
2 oz dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoon sunflower seeds
Cooking spray or little coconut oil to grease the pan 

Directions
-Preheat the oven to 350F.
-If using old-fashioned oats, grind them together in a food processor until it resembles coarse flour.
-Combine everything in a large bowl until everything mixes well.
-Grease the baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or use cooking spray) with coconut oil and drop the batter into the sheet using a large spoon (about a tablespoon). Flatten it a little bit using the back of the spoon.
-Bake it for 12-15 minutes.
-Remove from the oven and let it cool down before eating. 

I kept mine inside a refrigerator and it taste amazing even after two days. The recipe is just a guideline but you can swap any other nuts and seeds of your choice and even add dried fruits. 

Happy Wednesday!
