Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ripe banana (mashed)
1 egg
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter or allergy-friendly substitute)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose, or oat flour, or gluten-free flour)
1 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 cup nuts and/or seeds (I used pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
3/4 cup dried fruit (I used chopped figs, apricots, and cranberries)

Steps:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana, the egg, maple syrup (1/4 cup), salt (1/2 teaspoon), cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon), and peanut butter (1/4 cup) until very well blended, using an electric mixer or by vigorously whisking.
Add the whole wheat flour (1/4 cup) and stir to combine.
Add the oats (1 cup), nuts/seeds (3/4 cup), and dried fruit (3/4 cup). Stir together.
Using a large cookie scoop (or 1/4 cup measuring cup), scoop out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down on the top of the scoops to flatten them out, as they will not spread out during baking. I pressed the sides in as well, almost like I was forming a burger patty.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until slightly golden brown on the edges.

HIGH-FIBER, HIGH-PROTEIN BREAKFAST BARS

High-Fiber, High-Protein Breakfast Bars image

I came up with this recipe when my doctor told me I needed to eat more fiber, and I was sick of eating store-bought protein bars for breakfast in the car between the gym and work. Ingredients such as wheat germ, flaxseed, protein powder, peanut butter, and oats make this a healthy way to start the day!

cooking spray
1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
¼ cup wheat germ

3 bananas
¼ cup peanut butter (such as Jif®)
2 tablespoons honey

Stir oats, wheat germ, flax seed, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Mash bananas in a separate large bowl and stir 1/4 cup Jif® peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract into bananas, mixing well. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture and spread into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spread 1/4 cup natural peanut butter over top.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/4 cups quick oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
2/3 cup chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts or pistachios

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, salt and cinnamon.
Add the oats, dried cranberries and nuts and mix until combined. Scoop about 1/4-cup mounds of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, flattening each cookie slightly. (The cookies will not spread while baking, so you can space them relatively close together.)
Bake the cookies for 14 to 16 minutes until they're golden brown but still soft. Remove the cookies from the oven then allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

HEALTHY BREAKFAST COOKIES

Healthy Breakfast Cookies image

This is an easy, and incredibly nutritious recipe that you can quickly throw together the night before to have for breakfast the following morning. My brother loves them and was my inspiration when I perfected this yummy cookie recipe. If there's a lot of old or stale cereal left in your pantry, this is an easy way to use it up! Again, I use a lot of applesauce in place of butter or oil. Enjoy!
