Chocolate Oat Breakfast Cookies

Freshly baked cookies. My favorite, second only to ice cream. I love some good old fashioned chocolate chips cookies, but I also love having a go-to cookie recipe with some wholesome ingredients to fuel me as well! And this recipe uses only 2 ingredients as the base – found in most pantries – so it’s easy to make at home last minute when you want a warm, balanced cookie. And not to mention – these cookies are even breakfast-approved. Oats, banana, and chocolate protein powder to power you through the day.

Chocolate Oat Breakfast COOKIES for breakfast? I’m in.

You only need mashed ripe banana and rolled oats to make these cookies – but add-ins make them even more delicious. Try adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, almond butter, chopped nuts, raisins, or shredded coconut for some fun options! And last but not least….I drizzled mine with 4th and Heart “Chocti” Date, Chocolate, Ghee spread and it is pure HEAVEN. You’ve got to get your hands on this stuff.
