The most important meal...

It's breakfast time!  If you're anything like me, your child usually has approximately 15 minutes to eat, brush teeth, brush hair, get on socks and shoes and get out the door to the bus!  (We like to sleep and push the envelope of promptness.)

We also have an 18 month old who does not tolerate wheat products all too well, and we haven't found a single cereal, even organic/gluten free ones, that does not cause a bad reaction.  (We'll leave the reaction to your imagination.)

They both like oatmeal, but get tired of the same old thing every morning...

Enter... The BREAKFAST COOKIE!

And now I don't have to cook every morning.  Awesome.

These are super easy, and don't require a lot of exact measurement, which is great, because I can't be bothered.  I'm going to give you approximates, and let you use your culinary talent to play around to something that fits you!

3 pulverized, super ripe organic bananas
1/2c organic apple sauce
1/3 c unsweetened, organic vanilla almond milk
2 Tbs organic, raw honey
3 Tbs organic chia seeds (these create a gel when let to sit in moisture for a few minutes, they really help hold the cookies together and they are INCREDIBLY good for you!)
1/4c organic coconut sugar
1/3c dried organic flaked coconut
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3-1/2 well chopped raw, organic almonds
2 cups organic rolled oats
dash sea salt

Mix it all together, let it sit for about 15 minutes for the chia to gel (not that you're probably going to notice mixed with other ingredients) and for the oats to soak up some moisture.  Form into a cookie shape on a nonstick pan (I love my silpat!) and bake for 15 mins at 350.  Makes about a dozen cookies that are healthy, delicious and kindergartner approved.
