My ideal five favourite meals in these cookies (that also make them so tasty and healthy)?

1. Peanut butter: peanut butter is certainly one of my favourite nut butters and one which I at all times maintain on hand. Peanut butter is excessive in vitamins, fiber and protein (8g per serving!). If peanuts aren’t your thang, simply exchange your favourite nut/seed butter.

2. Banana: bananas are a key factor in these cookies no longer just for structure, but in addition for sweetness. Bananas are a high-quality factor so as to feature for your breakfast – they’re excessive in potassium, assist with digestion, vast for fueling pre- or post-workout, and are a herbal sweetener.

It’s low-calorie, excessive in vitamin A and potassium, and has a excessive water content material so it’s also hydrating.

5. Quinoa flakes: certainly one of my favourite varieties of quinoa, quinoa flakes are essentially the quinoa model of oats. They’re complete quinoa which has been run by way of a grain flaker and are correct in baked items like these cookies. They absorb barely bit extra liquid than oats, but have a a lot softer texture and offer all of the nutritional advantages of quinoa. Since they're so soft, I like utilizing them in mixture with oats on this recipe which offers the complete cookie a piece extra texture (and makes it really sense extra hearty).

I’m also loving that these cookies have a quite easy base. I simply tweaked my final model of breakfast cookies ever so slightly, figuring out that the probabilities with these infants is endless!
