Cocoa Oat Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cup rolled oats
• 3/4 lb bananas
• 6 tbsp peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. 2

   Mash the bananas to a smooth puree, then beat in the peanut butter, honey and vanilla until it is one mixture.

3. 3

   Stir in the oats, cocoa, cinnamon and salt until evenly dark, then fold through the chocolate chips.

4. 4

   Drop heaped tablespoons onto the sheet and flatten each one; these hold whatever shape you give them, as there is no leavener to spread them.

5. 5

   Bake 13 to 15 minutes until set at the edges and still soft in the middle.

6. 6

   Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving them, or they will break.
