    A blog that I love to read and make recipes from is Peanut Butter and Julie.  When I saw the recipe for Breakfast Cookies, I knew I would be making them.  Healthy and delicious AND I could eat them for breakfast because well, they were breakfast cookies!  🙂


    These were an awesome recipe and so versatile.  I made changes to the recipe to fit what I had at home and it worked out wonderfully.  Grumpy and I took these cookies to work with us every day the week I had made them.  They were moist (because of the banana) and coco nutty (because of the extract in the cookie and icing!).

    Julie's Cherry Almond version sounds yummy too and I will most likely go that way with them too because I love cherry/almond flavors  Make sure you check her blog out and read her suggestions for other options with these cookies and try the recipe, you won't regret it and you'll have yummy cookies for breakfast :o)

      YUM! I love treats like this that you can freeze and use on busy mornings when you need to grab something before you run out the door.
