OATMEAL CHOCOLATE-CHIP PEANUT-BUTTER BANANA BREAKFAST COOKIES
What makes the perfect breakfast cookie? I've determined that people like a low-sugar cookie. They also really like oatmeal. As far chocolate? Less is more. These breakfast cookies are easy to make, assemble and serve-and are definitely not your average oatmeal-and-raisin cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, cinnamon and salt, and stir until just combined. (The mixture may be thick and hard to stir.)
- Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop, and form balls with your hands, pressing the dough together very tightly. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

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.

WHOLE GRAIN BREAKFAST COOKIES
My sister and I love something sweet with our coffee in the morning. We created this recipe to make a wholesome breakfast. I generally double the batch and keep them in the freezer. They taste even better frozen (still soft!). Whole grains, fiber, and protein and no butter! Can it really be delicious? Yes! My kids can't keep their fingers out of the batter. I decided to add it to Allrecipes because everyone keeps asking me for the recipe. Enjoy!

INSTANT OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES
Be warned: These breakfast cookies are addictive. I took a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and pumped it up. It has whole wheat flour so it's filling and excellent as a breakfast cookie. I gave a friend this recipe and her family can't get enough. Incredible flavor!

MONSTER BREAKFAST COOKIES
These are a perfect treat when on the go, or first thing in the morning before a run/walk, or in the middle of the night while nursing a hungry infant! Walnuts are a great add (try 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup walnuts), but they do make the cookies a bite drier. You can use white flour or a mixture of white and whole-wheat.

BACON BREAKFAST COOKIES
The only bad thing about these cookies is that it's impossible to eat just one or two. They are not too sweet, and the bacon adds the most amazing flavor. I have made these with all white flour, half white/half whole wheat, and all whole wheat flour, and all tasted wonderful.

Tips for Baking Perfect Breakfast Cookies:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the cookies, making them extra delicious and nutritious.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: Most breakfast cookie recipes call for baking at 350°F (175°C). This temperature allows the cookies to bake evenly without burning.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Conclusion:
Breakfast cookies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Whether you prefer classic oatmeal cookies, decadent chocolate chip cookies, or something in between, there's a breakfast cookie recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast option, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
