These oatmeal breakfast cookies are literally the easiest cookies to make on the planet! All you need are 3 easy ingredients and 15 minutes later you’ll have a delicious warm and healthy breakfast with a kitchen that just oooozes of the most incredible soft cinnamon banana aromas.
I will never forget my mornings on school days as a kid. My alarm would go off, I’d hit snooze…this happened maybe three or four times until my grandma couldn’t take it anymore, so she’d come knock on the door to wake me up. I’d yell “I’M AWAKE NANNIE” and then fall back asleep, then a few minutes later hear her yell “YooooHoooo” from downstairs until I got up. Then I’d go into the bathroom, turn the shower on, and sleep on the floor until she caught on and realized that’s what I was doing. HAHAHA. I know, I was THE WORST morning person ever!
So let’s just say mornings were rough at my house growing up and I definitely ran out the door with an empty belly almost every morning. Even now that I’m a true early bird, I still like to have my breakfast ready to go during the week! I’m definitely not fun when I’m tired, hungry, and wayyyyy worse if I’m both [It’s called Hangry people…HANGRY]!
Having an easy healthy breakfast on hand is crucial for busy families in the morning before school and work to help your mornings run smoothly! I especially love this recipe because the ingredients are super basic and healthy, but you’d never guess! As a kid I despised oatmeal…ewww that stuff is for adults! BUT if I had these back then, I’d never guess it was basically oatmeal in the form of a cookie.Be Supermom to the rescue with these 3-Ingredient Breakfast Cookies!
Also, I’ve been really making an effort lately to only purchase organic items too. It is SO important that we read our labels and know where our products are coming from! No joke when I tell you I went through my entire kitchen last weekend and threw out everything that was not organic or non-gmo. That’s why I love these Organic Quick Oats from Farmer Direct Co-Op! They’re 100% organic, 100% fair deal, and 100% farmer-owned. No brainer that I’ll be using these from here on out.
So, gone are the days of running out the door hungry! Now you can make these the night before (or pop in oven when you get in the shower) and have breakfast treats for the whole family! Serve it with a glass of Organic Valley Milk for added nutrients and calcium and you’ll really feel like you’re having dessert for breakfast too.
Don’t believe how EASY and SIMPLE these are?? Check out my quick little video below for proof!
