Breakfast cookies

Breakfast Cookies! Who doesn't like a good cookie?

Well now you can have them for breakfast and give them to your children, and KNOW they are actually eating a healthy creation.  So after thinking this through I decided to omit the cacao chips.  Mainly cause I didn't know how this was going to turn out and didn't want to waste them, and secondly because it is breakfast, so I thought since they are for Levi, then I dont need to be giving my 16 month old chocolate chips with breakfast, but feel free to add them in for your cookies.

So what's in it:  Gluten Free Oats, Coconut flakes, Ground up flax seeds, chopped up pecans, raisins, salt, apple butter, almond butter, coconut oil, honey, agave, vanilla and a smashed up banana.  Pretty simple combine all dry in 1 bowl, combine all wet in another and then mix them together.

Here is the dry ingredients all combined.  I took the Gluten Free rolled oats and zapped them in the food processor real quick to kinda chop them up just a little bit. I used 1 & 1/2 C. of gluten free rolled oats. 1 C. of grated coconut, 1 TBS of ground flax seed, I used my coffee grinder to get a fine powder, and a bunch of raisins, probably about 1/4-1/2 cup.  1/4 C Chopped Pecans, I made these for a toddler with limited teeth, so I chopped them finely, you chop them how you see fit.










Here are the wet ingredients, I left the banana somewhat chunky, just for more flavor and because it wasn't an overly rip banana.  Also in there is the honey, the apple butter, the almond butter, the coconut oil, the agave nectar, vanilla and I guess if you wanted you could add some cinnamon as well.  I didn't this time.  I literally eyeballed this, using at least 2 TBS of each and then added some more apple butter another 1-2 TBS and more honey another tbs. after the banana was mashed and I thought it needed more.

This is what it looked like when I added the dry ingredients to the wet and mixed it all up.  Now it's ready to go onto a greased baking sheet.

Here they are on the cookie sheet in the oven, I baked them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Pretty typical!

And the Final Product!

Levi approved, double fisting with a horns up!

It's the first time I gave Levi a "cookie" and I felt great about it.  No sugar, no processed crap, just good wholesome ingredients and he was happy and I was happy.
