How to Make Banana Breakfast Cookies
First, preheat your oven to 375 Fahrenheit, and line a 11 x 17 baking sheet with parchment paper. These are big cookies!
Add oats, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl and mix. These are your dry ingredients.
Next, add mashed banana, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, pecans, and chocolate chips to dry ingredients and mix.
Now, you’re ready to form your cookies. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, place cookies onto parchment paper.
I like this affordable Rubbermaid Measuring Cup Set for easy measuring.
Flatten the top of each cookie on the parchment paper by pressing down lightly with your fingers.
Cookies will not spread, so this is their final shape.
Bake for 15 minutes. The bottom should be lightly golden brown.
Let cool slightly before eating!
