Hearty Breakfast Cookies Recipes

BEST EVER BREAKFAST COOKIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana, the egg, maple syrup (1/4 cup), salt (1/2 teaspoon), cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon), and peanut butter (1/4 cup) until very well blended, using an electric mixer or by vigorously whisking.
• Add the whole wheat flour (1/4 cup) and stir to combine.
• Add the oats (1 cup), nuts/seeds (3/4 cup), and dried fruit (3/4 cup). Stir together.
• Using a large cookie scoop (or 1/4 cup measuring cup), scoop out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down on the top of the scoops to flatten them out, as they will not spread out during baking. I pressed the sides in as well, almost like I was forming a burger patty.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until slightly golden brown on the edges.

JUMBO BREAKFAST COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a very large bowl, mix together the sugar, peanut butter, butter, water, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter. Mix in the oats and raisins, then carefully stir in the cereal. Drop 1/2 cupfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing cookies about 4 inches apart. Flatten cookies to 1 inch thick.
• Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are lightly browned at the edges. Let stand on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Store at room temperature. I like to put each cookie into a sandwich bag which makes them easy to grab on the way out the door.

BEST BREAKFAST COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and pour in the canola oil, prune puree, water, egg whites and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Stir in the raisins, walnuts and apricots. Scoop cookies using an ice cream scoop, or roll into golf ball sized balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets and flatten to 1/2 tall with wet hands. These cookies do not flatten very much while baking.
• In the preheated oven, bake 8 minutes for chewy cookies 10 to 12 minutes for dry cookies. Cookies will not get crisp. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
