These breakfast cookies are the perfect thing to grab on the go when you are in a rush and can’t get a decent breakfast in! And what’s even better, your kids will think you are the best mom ever to give them a cookie for breakfast when you are rushing to get them to school on time. Ok, so here is the catch…they are healthy cookies and high in protein! However they taste good… I swear! There is no extra oil added to the cookies and only a little honey added as the bananas are already naturally sweet. And if you would like them a little bit sweeter you can always increase the amount of honey in the recipe. Get the recipe for One Bowl Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies.
