Toddler Tested and Approved --> 3 Ingredient Breakfast Cookie!

In my quest to find new and easy recipes, this one has been a winner in the house lately!



It takes about 10 minutes to make (minus baking time) and is super easy to double the batch and freeze for later.

Ingredients
1) 2 Medium ripe bananas
2) 2 cups of dry oatmeal
3) 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chunks

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Mash the bananas into a large bowl.
- Add oats and stir thoroughly
- Add chocolate and stir throuroughly
- Using a tablespoon, mash mixture into small balls. Place on cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes to desired crunchiness
- Serve or freeze

Makes 12-16 cookies. Serving size is 2. (For all you 21 Day Fixers I count this as a yellow snack/treat).

These are great for snacks (about 100 calories for two) or for breakfast. You can modify this recipe about 100 ways. Sometimes for extra protein I add peanut butter and when I am in the mood for some thing a little more sugary tasting I add cinnamon. (calorie free!). You can also add dried fruit, nuts etc.  Its a great way to use those old bananas and a healthy alternative to your average chocolate chip cookie.
