One of the things many people struggle with is getting a healthy breakfast in on busy mornings. So many people reach for unhealthy grab and go items in the morning. I find that when I take a few minutes on a Sunday night to prep something for myself, then I am set up for the week and don’t need to think about my breakfast!

I love meal prepping these banana breakfast cookies! Sometimes I will even make a double batch of them. I like to let them cool completely and put half of them in the fridge in a container, and half of them in the freezer for future mornings. Rather than wondering how you’re going to fuel yourself for the day, you can quickly grab one of these nutritious cookies from your fridge or freezer, pop it in the microwave + enjoy with a cup of coffee.

I used to prep baked oatmeal all the time, and while I enjoy having my healthy blueberry baked oatmeal or chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal for breakfast, these cookies are even better for enjoying on the go. They’re perfectly portable, and taste amazing!

Ingredients
- 1 cup banana mashed (approx 3 medium bananas)
- 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten free if necessary
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons collagen peptides
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

- Mash bananas until smooth. Add bananas to a mixing bowl and stir in coconut oil and egg until combined
- Add all remaining ingredients together in a large bowl + allow it to sit for 5 minutes (the chia seeds will start to bind + make the batter thick)
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and form into shape of a cookie. Make sure to press the cookies down flat. (Because these cookies do not have any baking powder/soda or flour, they do not rise or expand. The cookies will stay whatever shape you bake them at)
- Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are a light brown on the edges.
- Allow cookies to cool + store in an airtight container in refrigerator.

I’m pregnant and looking for quick snacks to store in the freezer after my kid is born. These look like a winner! I have everything on-hand except the chia, but I do have ground flaxseed — do you think that would make an acceptable substitute?
The Clean Eating Couple
They would totally be great snacks to have on hand! I haven’t made these with ground flaxseed but I think it should work. If you try it let me know!
