Ingredients
To make these scrumptious cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup nut or seed butter (we recommend raw almond butter)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional; you can substitute with raw honey or omit entirely)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup organic raisins
- 1 cup sprouted rolled oats (ensure they are gluten-free)
- Flaky salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Healthy Breakfast Cookies:
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, nut or seed butter, cinnamon, chia seeds, and maple syrup (if using). Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
- Add the Goodness: Incorporate the pumpkin seeds, raisins, and sprouted rolled oats into the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
- Chill the Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to scoop.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place the mixture onto a lined baking sheet. This batch should yield approximately 6 cookies.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the cookies for around 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
- Finish and Enjoy: Once baked, you can sprinkle flaky salt on top for an extra burst of flavor (this step is optional). Allow the cookies to cool slightly before enjoying!
