Directions for Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray.
- Place ½ cup oats into a food processor or blender and pulse until the oats are ground into flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oats, oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and flax.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the bananas, egg, and vanilla. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
- Using a large scoop, divide the dough into 16 cookies. Press the tops flat as these cookies remain in the same shape as they cook.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the middle is set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
