HEALTHY BREAKFAST COOKIES
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!

HEALTHY BREAKFAST COOKIES AND BARS - FIBER, PROTEIN, AND FRUIT!
This recipe makes great cookies and even better bars. In its original form, following the recipe, it has a nice mild balance of oatmeal and apple flavours. Three cookies is one full serving of whole grains, and a full serving of fruit. It keeps at least a week without getting dried out (and then my four year old inhaled the last bar). I'm planning to try it again with cut up dried apricots and toasted sesame seeds. Try it out! (Found it in the Toronto daily "24 Hours" paper, October 3, 2005)

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cookie-making process quicker and easier. Measure out all of the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, and chop any nuts or dried fruit that you're using.
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas will give your cookies a sweeter, more intense flavor. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for these cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and may burn.
- Let the cookies cool completely before eating: This will allow the flavors to develop and will help the cookies to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
These healthy breakfast cookies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and they're also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with nuts or fruit, these cookies are sure to become a favorite.
