I'm always trying different things for breakfast that will also work great for snacks. Last weekend I made breakfast cookies. I made 2 batches because they sounded so good. Then I kept them in the refrigerator to last throughout the week.
I knew this week would be draining for me, since I started teaching a new semester.
I have to say that these are the best breakfast cookies I've ever made! They were a hit with the whole family! They are gluten free, egg free, filled with protein, and yummy!
These cookies work great for a snack to! The boys are always hungry after they've been at the Y. These cookies are loaded with protein, and don't have a lot of sugar! I kind of think of honey similar to sugar. It is local honey I used. I didn't use peanut butter, or almond butter that is made with added sugar. Bananas are more of a starchy fruit, which turns to sugar, but do contain potassium.
I used a coffee grinder to grind up my flaxseed. I've read that it's better to eat flaxseed that is ground up right before you use it. I don't have almond flour, or oat flour on hand, so I just ground both of them in my food processor when a recipe calls for them.
Of course we had other things with them: A Green Smoothie, Steamed Kale, A Fried Egg, Pomegranate Seeds (for Isaak and I), Blueberries (for Mica), A Banana (for Dad), and Black Coffee (for Mom and Dad).
These were a hit!
They do have a banana taste to them, but are harder like a cookie.

You can't go wrong with cookies for breakfast! I think my kids would really like these.
These look great! I will have to see if my boys like them!
These would be great for after workouts! I am printing off the recipe now and going to whip up a batch this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
How fun! My kiddos would think I was the best mom ever if I fed them breakfast cookies!
Really - only 1/2 teaspoon dark chocolate chips - or is that a typo?
Anonymous,
That was a typo. I fixed it. It's a 1/2 cup of Dark Chocolate Chips. Sorry about that!
Mmm yummy! I need to start baking more again haha..
Hope this week back at school went well for you. Yay to the weekend :)

Those sound so good. They'd be very filling for those mornings when I workout.
I bet those would be really great with coffee in the morning!
I would happily have those for breakfast (minus the chocolate chips)! They'd be great to carry in one's purse on a busy day. Might prevent a regrettable trip through the fast-food drive-thru!
You know, this would be great for you to post and link with my Friday Feast :)
(I want to try these... maybe the "cookie" part will get Marc to try them!)
Here is my post if you want to link up ;)

My Daughter makes me something like this sometime.
These look good! I like the flavor combination and the high protein content.
Stopping by from Noelle's linky. Have a great day!
