Breakfast Cookies

Summer nights at the Davis house mean engaging in epic corn hole tournaments and board games competitions.  We love late night movie marathons, ice cream shop visits and evening swim sessions.  The three of us have to go our separate ways most days but when we come together in the evening, we make the most out of these warm, humid summer nights.  

I know that I've hit full blown summer mode when I start staying up past my usual 10:00 bed time.  (Normally, my body just shuts down at precisely 10 pm every night - regardless of what I'm doing or where I am.)  🤣  For some reason, I'm oddly energized and invigorated by summer nights I find myself wide awake and making smore's on the grill at 11:30 at night. 🤷🏻‍♀️ These late summer nights are amazing but they make it harder and harder to drag myself out of bed before 7:00 AM with each passing day.

Hold on to your hats folks, because if you struggle to get yourself out of bed in the summer like me - I'm about to make your morning a whole lot easier.  Meet your new incentive to get your butt out of bed - the magical Breakfast Cookie.  I'm willing to bet that if you have a batch of these in your freezer, you'll wake up thinking about them and dare I say - leap out of bed to get one, the minute that you wake up. 

Since I've started making these cookies, I've gone from dragging myself out from under the covers in sloth-like fashion to springing out of bed kangaroo style.  What can I say?  I'm motivated by food.  😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Feel free to adjust my recipe to suit your own needs.  Swap out the pumpkin seeds with walnuts or the raisins for dried cherries.  The key is to make them your own.

Breakfast Cookies
1 banana
1 carrot, grated
1 egg

1 Tablespoon maple syrup
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir together with a wooden spoon.

Scoop onto into rounds on a silpat lined cookie sheet.  Flatten slightly.

Bake 25 minutes at 350.

I wrap these cookies individually in plastic bags and put them in the freezer.  Freezing them is a great way to keep them fresh but it also stops me from eating all of them in one day.  (You know a cookie is good when I have to hide them from myself!)  A quick 30 seconds in the microwave is all the you need to defrost these little treats.  I recommend making a double batch - you'll be glad you did.

​Ciao!

Hi Carla - Yes to the parchment paper. It will work just as well as the silpat mats. (They are a silicone mat that basically works like reusable parchment paper.)
As far as whether or not I eat just one for breakfast - no. I keep making them bigger but one is still not enough for breakfast so I've been pairing it with a granola bar and fruit.
