Short and Sweet Weekend Recap

Good Monday morrow to you all.  I hopeth thee hath much tomfoolery to reminisce upon from thine weekend.  (Damn that would be exhausting to talk like that all of the time.)   We've had biblical rain all week and weekend so road tripping would've been out of the question.  No one wants to drive on slick roads for hours so we were stuck at home.  I am pretty sure unless it's for pizza, we're done eating out for a while.  I got so ticked trying to order from a new place and all of the hoops they wanted you to jump through that I said screw it and the Mr was ticked too and said they were shysters.  ($42 for what equates to Chinese takeout "bowl".  Nope.)   Then he mentioned a BBQ place and I was resistant because BBQ always makes me sick, without question.  I relented because we'd spent 20 minutes trying to find a place by that time and were both getting irritated.  Not like we spent less than we would have if we'd gone to th...

Morning Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

My morning oatmeal isn't your typical bland bowl of oats.  Most times I like to fancy it up a bit.  I always add bananas but sometimes I'll add Biscoff spread or mini chocolate chips or if I'm feeling sassy, both.

These babies were inspired by the sassy days...



Morning Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
(Makes 34)



3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups oats (regular or quick cook)
1 medium ripe banana, mashed (no lumps)
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Trader Joe's organic maple sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick Blue Bonnet margarine, softened
6 tbsp Biscoff Crunchy Spread
1/2 cup Nestle mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350, grease cookie sheets with cooking spray or use silpats.

Combine butter and sugars until fluffy.


Add vanilla, banana, Biscoff spread and chips.


Blend until combined.




Add flour, baking soda and oats and mix well.


Chill dough for 15 minutes.


Drop by rounded tablespoon on the cookie sheet about 2" apart.


Bake for 8-10 minutes.


Cool for 5-7 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.

See that glossy sheen?  That's what you want.  Yum!


Now obviously you can't substitute these for a bowl of oatmeal calorie wise but they'll make one heck of an addition to your Fall/Winter baking rotation!

    Those look yummy. I always love your cookie recipes.

    At school they serve "breakfast cookies" every so often. My best guess would be about 300-400 calories each, but so yummy. Oatmeal based, molasses, always some kind of fruit, chewey, warm deliciousness. I always like breakfast cookie day.

    Those look good!! My kids would love them too, because like me, they LOVE biscoff spread. I am going to have to make these, and I love that they are less than 90 calories per cookie! Awesome!!

    I'm always on the lookout for a portable breakfast.....but not a banana fan. Do you taste the bananas?

    You know, I do not like oatmeal itself, like in the "breakfast state", but I absolutely love oatmeal cookies. Your recipe is one I'd be willing to try because the outcome is just beautiful. I could practically taste these through the screen!
