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.
But not to worry, I finally got these Chocolate Cherry Banana Breakfast Cookies under control and came up with the most deliciously sweet and healthy treat.
