A sweet oatmeal cookie with crunchy toasted sunflower seeds. This cookie is a family favorite. It calls for coconut, but I like them better without the coconut.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter the oatmeal will be. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a brown paper bag with an apple for a day or two.
Adjust the sweetness: The amount of maple syrup or honey you add to the oatmeal is up to your personal preference. You can also use other sweeteners, such as brown sugar or agave nectar.
Add your favorite toppings: Once the oatmeal is cooked, you can top it with a variety of ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or fresh fruit. You can also add a drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter for extra flavor.
Make it ahead of time: Oatmeal is a great meal to make ahead of time. Simply cook the oatmeal according to the recipe instructions, then let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you're ready to eat, simply reheat the oatmeal in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Conclusion:

Sunflower banana oatmeal is a delicious and healthy breakfast that is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins, and it can help you feel full and satisfied all morning long.
