Cranberry Walnut Breakfast Cookies

Cranberry Walnut Breakfast Cookies

Makes 6 Cookies

¾ cup old fashioned oats
½ cup shredded coconut flakes
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup cranberries
1½ bananas, mashed
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.

Combine the oats, coconut, salt, walnuts, and cranberries in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a separate bowl, stir together mashed banana, honey, vanilla, and coconut oil. Add to dry ingredients and stir until completely combined.

Line the lid of a quart size mason jar with saran wrap to use as a cookie mold. Fill with the cookie dough and flip over onto the prepared baking sheet. Lift off the mason jar lid, then the saran wrap. Repeat steps with remaining cookie dough to make 6 cookies. If you don't have a mason jar lid, you can form the cookies by hand. The mason jar lid will give you cookies that are all the same shape and size.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. If you aren't using a silicon baking mat, keep an eye on the bottom of the cookies. Cool on baking sheet. Store loosely covered.
