You’ll never believe these are HEALTHY cookies, vegan and gluten free.
These cookies are made with wholesome ingredients such as oats, coconut, nuts and sweetened with mashed bananas and a little agave nectar (or you can use maple syrup). Yes, I also have a few dark chocolate chips in there because dark chocolate (65% or more) is a great antioxidant. That’s why I call them “breakfast cookies” because your family can enjoy them for a healthy breakfast treat!
