When someone says 3 ingredients, delicious, and healthy we take it to the test kitchen!
We love nothing more than when our Women of Today readers send us delicious recipes to try, and this one for Breakfast Oatmeal Banana Cookies is no exception. A big thank you to reader Rose Egge for sharing what turned out to be a big hit in the WOT Test Kitchen! With only three simple ingredients and hardly any prep time, these healthy cookies will provide you with the easiest breakfast on the go or snack for days! And if you’re anything like us, you’ll be thankful for this shortcut to nutrients for breakfast before starting a busy day.
Pro Tip: Add unsweetened coconut shavings like we did (or vegan chocolate chips!) to satisfy that sweet tooth. This works great as a healthier option for kids, too! Also, press some toasted oats to the top of the cookies for an added crunch.
Pure, simple, and healthy … Just the way we like it!
Mix, then bake in the oven, and you’re all done!
