Quick and Healthy Sugar Free Breakfast Cookies
i tend to change this recipe a little each time i make it, but i've decided i like how this came out.
ingredients:
2 medium bananas, mashed
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup flax seed meal
3 cups oats
1/4 cup olive oil (this can be decreased to limit fat, just increase water content)
1/2 cup dried berries (I use mixed, or cranberries)
1/2 cup slivered almonds or chopped walnuts
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp agave nectar
directions:
Preheat oven to 350f.
Mix everything into a big bowl! (Mash the bananas first, and add everything else to save on dishes.) Shape dough into bars on a greased cookie sheet, making the bars about 1/3-1/2 inch thick. Make into cookie shapes for breakfast cookies, rectangles for bars, or pack into a cookie sheet and cut after they’re done baking. I prefer breakfast cookies, but these will make traditional “bars” really well.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges brown.
Makes about a dozen large breakfast cookies, or six bars.
