Receta Peanut Butter & Banana Breakfast Cookies
Cookies for breakfast is definitely the
way to go! Especially if they are filled with peanut butter, bananas, flax
seeds, and oatmeal. No eggs or milk here either. These are tasty little morsels
(if I do say so) seeing as how I keep popping them in my mouth and I'm
surprised there are any left. My intention was to make them for my son for his
breakfast at school and he will have them for one day but I can't guarantee
more than that.
I'm always trying to think of new little
breakfast treats to give him to eat in the mornings that will travel well and
don't need to be refrigerated. These are healthy and small (about 2" each)
so they're perfect. You could of course add raisins, cranberries, nuts, or
chocolate chips but I decided to keep it simple. This is a pretty small recipe
which could be great or so sad when they're all gone. I would rather make small
recipes and try them out different ways than one big recipe and eat on them for
a each day for a whole week or more.
What I love about these is that there is
no eggs, milk, or flour. There is some sugar but feel free to substitute honey
for the sugar and omit the apple juice. I am out of honey for the moment so I
was trying different ingredients. These are so quick and easy to make you will
wonder why you didn't do it sooner. So go make some! Happy Baking!
