I admit it! I’m obsessed with breakfast cookies…especially these oatmeal, banana, chocolate chip ones. They’re a cross between a muffin, a cookie and a bowl of oatmeal in every bite.

I started making a variety of breakfast cookies when store bought were always too sweet and even my childhood loves, Stella Doro’s no longer satisfied me…so of course I started to make my own. These are my latest breakfast treats.

Inspired by a cookie I found on Averiecooks.com

Wet Ingredients

1 large egg

1 medium banana (mashed with a fork)

1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

1/4 cup granulated sugar (I added just under 1/4 cup)

1/4 cup butter (softened)

1 teaspoon vanilla

Dry Ingredients

1 cup flour

1.5 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not instant)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instruction

Add all wet ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat until well combined

In a separate bowl mix together dry ingredients (except chips)

Add dry to wet and mix. Mix in the chips

Drop by tablespoon fills onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree (176.6 C) oven for about 13 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom

Remove onto a cooling rack
