These breakfast cookies. I’m not even going to tell you how many times I attempted this recipe before I perfected it.

Ok, seven times. Seven! For a stinkin’ breakfast cookie!

I was on a mission to create a healthy, yet decadent breakfast cookie with just the right amount of crunch and chewy middle. For some reason, it took me multiple tries to get this recipe right.

And you would think that simple ingredients, like oats, bananas, coconut oil, and chocolate would be easy to mesh into one. For some, yes, for me, not so much. The texture was either too wet, too dry, not flavorful enough, etc.

    Wow -- seven is A LOT of attempts! :) These ingredients remind me of a banana split ice cream sundae. Just add some vanilla yogurt for breakfast and it's practically dessert in the morning! :) Breakfast cookies are THE BEST!

      It was a lot of attempts! I didn't do them all at one time though...more like 7 times in a few months! :) And now you're making me hungry for an ice cream sundae!

    You must be a very patient woman, Gayle. You worked hard for these! But that makes it so much more worth it. Hope you're having a bunch this morning!

    Cookies for breakfast sure as heck beats what's in my regular rotation, Gayle! Especially these cookies jam packed with so much delicious flavor and texture! Definitely not limiting myself to only breakfast with these scrumptious morsels.. I'm willing to bet I could polish off a tray in half a day. Thanks for making these seven times for us, I think they look worth the effort! I know I aprreciate it! Pinned! Cheers, lovely!

      Thanks, Cheyanne! I think I need to make breakfast cookies more often...I can't resist the flavors or the chewy texture!

      Thank you, Alice! I attempted these cookies 7 times within a few months, so not all at once otherwise I would've gone crazy! :)

    Gayle, we're on the same wavelength -- I just made a batch of breakfast cookies over the weekend so they're coming soon! It's so fun to wake up and eat cookies for breakfast, especially when they're as hearty and healthy as these! And I love that chocolate drizzle you gave them -- these look delicious!

    We love breakfast cookies around here, and the combination of flavors in these sounds so good! It always seems like the simplest recipes are the ones that take me so many tries to get just right. I don't know what it is about those simple recipes, but I'm glad you finally got these perfected because they look delish!

      Yes! They definitely didn't want to work with me during the first 6 tries! :) Thanks for the cookie love, Lauren!

    These breakfast cookies look so yummy. I love to mix up my breakfasts every once in a while, otherwise I get really sick of the same old thing. And I love the combination of bananas, oats, and cherries. And I really like the idea of a cookie with chocolate for breakfast!

      Thank you for the cookie love, Amanda! I'm definitely hooked on cookies for breakfast! :) And I agree, it's so nice to switch things up every now and then!

    Oh my word, I love these and I am totally making them tomorrow morning for breakfast. We WERE going to have chia seed pudding....but guess what, plans have changed! Thanks for changing them! These look so good. Can't wait to taste! We have a ton of bananas right now that are starting to get overripe, but our muffin pans disappeared, so I will probably make several batches of these and freeze them! http://purrfectlyinspired.com

    Isn't that the most annoying thing when you KNOW that a recipe should work and it just won't quite go the way you want! I'm glad you managed to get it perfect, because these cookies look amazing and I really want one right now with my morning coffee!
