Healthy Breakfast Cookies

I love the idea of cookies for breakfast, but not the idea of starting the day off with a pile of sugar.  These breakfast cookies are amazing because, if you take a look at the ingredients, they contain everything you would find in a healthy bowl of oatmeal - and NO sugar!  Their sweetness comes from the fruit and the cinnamon so you can feel great about enjoying these with your morning cup of coffee. Or throw a few in a ziploc bag for breakfast on-the-go!

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas (mashed)
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 cups quick oats (uncooked)
1/4 cup milk (any kind!)
1/2 cup raisins (or dried cranberries, blueberries - anything goes!)
1/2 cup chopped nuts/seeds (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

2.  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

3.  Using your hands, form dough into balls and place on cookie sheet (I flattened mine slightly with a fork).  Bake for 15-20 minutes, let cool & enjoy!
