Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies
Do these ingredients sound familiar? This recipe essentially takes the staple ingredients for oatmeal and turns them into delicious and addictive breakfast cookies instead! Rolled oats are high in fibre and are a complex carbohydrate, meaning they digest slowly and leave you feeling fuller for longer. Not only are bananas a delicious fruit that helps naturally sweeten this recipe, they are also fairly low on the glycemic index, meaning they don’t cause a spike in blood sugar levels. Give this recipe a try this coming weekend so you can have these breakfast cookies for the upcoming week! They are a great snack, dessert, or breakfast when you’re craving a sweet treat!
