Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Peanut-Butter Banana Breakfast Cookie

• servings: 12 items
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 large, ripe bananas

2 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup peanut butter (my family prefers chunky)

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup honey

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, cinnamon and salt, and stir until just combined. (The mixture may be thick and hard to stir.)

Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop, and form balls with your hands, pressing the dough together very tightly. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges start to brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Notes

- add chopped pecans next time?

- baked for 20 mins

- did not form into tight balls
