- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make Our Slimming-Friendly Breakfast Cookies
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until everything is fully combined.
Step 4: Fold in the Mix-Ins
Gently fold in the raisins, dark chocolate chips, pepitas, and flax seeds. The mixture will be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 5: Shape the Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per cookie onto the prepared tray. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon since these cookies won’t spread much during baking.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. They firm up as they cool and develop the perfect chewy texture.
These healthy breakfast cookies are ideal for meal prep and make a fantastic grab-and-go option for anyone looking for easy healthy recipes that fit a slimming lifestyle.
