(2) Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast cookies can be a decent grab-and-go breakfast for those who are too busy to stop and eat something in the morning. They are also great for a snack at any point in the day. Below are two (very) different breakfast cookies recipes that I've made...one is healthy, while the other is no-so-much (as it contains bacon). I'd love to try other recipes for breakfast cookies if you have one!


Healthy Breakfast Cookies
3 mashed bananas (ripe)
4 oz. applesauce (small plastic lunchbox container)
2 1/2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup skim milk
2 egg whites
1/2 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit you want to add)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp Splenda , sugar or other sweetener.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Let mixture stand for 10 minutes to let the oats become hydrated. Heap the dough by tsp onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes and let cool. Let it sit for ten minutes. Makes about 20.

Breakfast Cookies (with bacon!)

1/2 pound bacon (could use turkey)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups of multi-grain flakes or corn flakes
1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon until very crisp, drain well and break into 1/2 inch pieces. Beat together butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine flour and baking soda; stir into butter mixture. Stir in bacon, mult-grain flakes and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Space 2 inches apart. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove to rack to cool--about 2 minutes, then remove from rack.
