Tropical Breakfast Cookies

If you read my blog regularly, you would know that I love a breakfast cookie. If you don’t, see here, here, and here. See? I’m a fan.

I mean, who wouldn’t be a fan of eating cookies for breakfast?! I love making these types of cookies because 1: You can stuff them with all sorts of good stuff like fruit, oats, flax, chia seeds, you name it! And 2: Because they are super easy to grab and go! And although I call them breakfast cookies, I often eat them for a mid-morning or late afternoon snack.

I went a little “tropical” with this version. The base of the cookie is made with banana, oats, and coconut oil. And then I mixed in some diced dried mango and shredded coconut! These cookies make me think of summer which depending on where you live, you may so desperately be waiting for!
