Ginger wanted to make cookies for breakfast this week and ironically that same day Dawn’s FB update was about the Banana Cookies they were having for breakfast. The same recipe she so prettily copied out onto an index card for me about 10 years earlier. That recipe has been filed away unused all these years. I think it is very telling that I had an unused recipe hanging around for 10 yrs. One would think I would have pitched it if I hadn’t made it once over all these years. But I’m a bit of a saver!
The other funny thing about this post are the pictures of Ginger all combed and dressed for breakfast! She rarely gets dressed or combs her hair with out lots of prodding—but she had some new duds to slip into and was pretty excited to wear them! I wouldn’t want to give the impression that we “dress” for breakfast around here!
These are easy and tasty and have chocolate chips in them so they make everything right in the world while scarfing them down!
2 bananas
1 cup sugar (or sucanant)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon (or more)
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups oats
1/-1 cup choc chips
1/2 cup applesauce
Preheat oven to 350
Mix bananas, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, applesauce, and baking soda.
Mix in flour then oats—-they should be thick and gooey like cookie batter so add more flour or applesauce as needed
add chips
Place dough on cookie sheet and cook 10 -15 minutes or until golden brown
I made my cookies huge so I had to cook them a little longer.
Mmmmm Mmmmm Good! That’s what cookies for breakfast are…Mmmm Mmmm good!
Yum! You know, I saw that Ginger was all dressed and ready and I just knew it had to be her idea. I knew you wouldn’t stage that for a breakfast post.
yum! gonna make these today!
The only downside to those cookies is you don’t want to double the recipe because the ones that don’t get eaten turn purple (bananas) and they they’re ugly looking even though they still taste fine. I think they’d be good with walnuts, too, but then my kids wouldn’t eat them.
must find you on FB. these look too too tempting.
