Making Breakfast Cookies is simple. Follow these steps to create your delicious breakfast treats:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and mashed banana until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is well mixed.

5. Add Flavorings: Fold in the chocolate chips or dried fruits, and nuts if you’re using them.

6. Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Flatten Cookies: Press the cookies down slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers to shape them.

8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

By following these steps, you’ll easily create your amazing Breakfast Cookies!
