With a toddler (holy moly…my baby is now a toddler?!?) on the go, it’s hard to get him to sit down and eat anything any more. He will sit down for a plate full of blueberries or asparagus (he’s weird and awesome), but pancakes or french toast…no way. Granted I don’t put syrup on it and for that, I don’t blame him. However, I have been puréeing peaches and drizzling that on top of homemade breakfast foods (pancakes, french toast, waffles) and he loves it!
Anyway. These little breakfast cookies have been great!
They’re perfect for little hands or a quick on-the-go snack for momma. Chasing Liam around all day means I’m pretty much hungry all the time and breakfast cookies are just the thing to fill me right up!
A pretty little latte always helps too…
I loved how quickly the cookies came together and I don’t have to worry about any added or unnecessary sugars going into our bodies with them. Straight up bananas and cinnamon pack plenty of flavor.
Taylor is the queen of all things healthy and kicking my butt into shape (I’ve gained a couple pounds in the 5 weeks of completing her workouts, but I’m 99% sure that it’s muscle, because I am sore in places I didn’t even know muscles existed!) and we have her to thank for these cookies. Go check her out y’all!

Hi made these today and my kids loved them very easy to make so little ones can help. @mumof3under4
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂
I would like to know how many cookie’s can you have for 380 calories? ?
If you make nine cookies with the recipe (no add ins), each cookie is 79 calories. For your 380 calories, you could have 4.8 cookies. I mighty filling breakfast!
Do these need to be refrigerated or just sealed container on counter?
I just place them in a container on the counter. Happy Baking!
Definately add 1/4C dried fruit or nuts if it is appropriate to do so! They are wonderful with a little something more!
