GF Date & Muesli Breakfast Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 large spotted bananas mashed

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups gluten-free old fashioned oats

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients in the order given. Stir as you add the ingredients to combine well.
- I used a large cookie scoop for these breakfast cookies; you could always use a smaller one and make twice as many cookies. Just remember to shorten the baking time if you decide to make smaller cookies.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. They will be fragile until they reach room temperature. Don’t worry though; they will firm up nicely,
