Cookies for breakfast? Heck, yea!

Like egg bites, oatmeal breakfast cookies are simple to make and great for breakfast on-the-go or for packed lunches, so stock up on the ingredients because you’ll probably be making them often!
You will see that the recipe calls for cinnamon chips. These can be found in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips.
Cinnamon chips are seasonal in some areas, so if you can’t find them, you can substitute white chocolate chips and add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the flour mixture.
How to Make Breakfast Cookies
Start by gathering your ingredients.
For this recipe, you will need: butter, brown sugar, ripe bananas, egg, flour, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, walnuts, cinnamon chips, coconut, dried blueberries, and quick rolled oats.
You will also need 2 cookie sheets and parchment paper for lining.
Line your cookie sheets and set them aside.
Using a stand or handheld mixer, beat your softened butter and brown sugar together well in a large bowl.
Then beat in 1 egg and mashed ripened bananas.
Once well mixed, stir in flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
Add walnuts, cinnamon chips, coconut, and blueberries, stirring until just blended.
Add oats and stir until incorporated. The dough will be very soft.
Next, scoop rounded tablespoons of batter onto lined baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
Bake 11-12 minutes.
Finally, remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 or so minutes before transferring to cooling rack to cool fully.
Pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!

I try this recipe it’s so easy to follow but I didn’t use the coconut or the blueberry l use cranberry and put sprinkle on top.
Love it.
how much dried cranberries
Would it be possible to bake them like bar cookies instead. If so, would you still need two pans or all in one? How long would you bake them?
I haven’t tried making these cookies into bars- they may be too soft… If you wanted to give it a try I would suggest using a 9×13 pan and baking for 12 minutes, then take a peek at them every minute or so to see when they are baked through. If you decide to give it a try please let me know how they come out 🙂
How would you store and shelf or fridge life?
You can store these cookies in an airtight container on the countertop for up to 4-5 days.
What can I use instead of bananas? Not everyone in my family like them.
Thank you!
You could substitue with 1 cup of applesauce.
I am interested in making this with fresh blueberries and no cinnamon chips. Don’t have the chips and dont mind cinnamon but dont want the chocolate. Do you think it would work? Possibly even swapping out the egg for applesauce. I do this sometimes for vegans.
I have not tried making the cookies with these substitutions so I can’t say for certain. Leaving out the chips shouldn’t be an issue but I would imagine that using fresh blueberries will add moisture and change the texture of the cookies.
