Healthy Breakfast Cookies featuring Bananas, Oats, Honey, Almond Butter and Chocolate Chips | Five Marigolds

 

Healthy breakfast cookies are not only easy to make but also packed with nutrients to start your day off right. They are perfect for those busy mornings when you don’t have time for a sit-down breakfast.

The banana and honey combine to give it a natural sweetness, and the almond butter and oats provide a protein boost and loads of fiber. And who doesn’t love chocolate chips, right?

These healthy breakfast cookies are not only great for breakfast, but they are also perfect for a grab-and-go snack on the run as well. 

I’ll often mix up the dry ingredients before I go to bed, and in the morning just add the banana, nut butter, and honey and pop them in the oven. So good! Here is the recipe with my preferred ingredients.

Ingredients You Need:

  • 2 1/3 C. quick oats
  • 3/4 t. salt
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 1 C. nut butter (I prefer almond butter)
  • 1/4 C. honey
  • 1/3 C. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Making your Healthy Breakfast Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Mix all the ingredients together, folding in the chocolate chips at the end.
  3. >Scoop 3 tablespoons per cookie onto a parchment-lined baking sheet  – I used my Pampered Chef large scoop> to make easy work of this – and gently flatten to the desired shape.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool on a baking rack.

I have a serious sweet tooth in the morning, so I’ve long been on the hunt for sweet breakfast recipes that are healthy’ish AND taste good. It’s been a long journey! After a testing a  lot of recipes and coming up short, I’ve finally found something that balances a little of both – it’s super yummy, and the ingredients are in the healthy’ish zone that I can feel good about serving my kids. Rich flavor – with no flour, butter or refined sugar.Another thing I love about these cookies is that they are really satisfying. I’m almost always hungry within 30 minutes of breakfast, but not with these.  Ladies and Gentleman: I proudly introduce you to Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies.

Makes around 15 cookies. These stay good for about three days or can be frozen for later. Be sure to separate cookies with parchment paper in storage.

Easy, Inexpensive Favor Bags

Paper Bag Party Favors | Five MarigoldsDress up a common paper lunch bag to be something extra special!  EClaire needed to take favor bags to school for her half birthday (summer birthday problems!). I had a few awkwardly shaped items so I needed a decent-sized bag, but I didn’t want to spend much.

As usual, I headed to the Dollar Tree fro some paper lunch bags and doilies. Then, I secured them with these tiny craft clothespins that you can get at Hobby Lobby or here on Amazon. I love how these turned out, and you can make 40 for just $6. Next time, I love the idea of trying these for birthday party favors with colorful doilies and clothespins.

These would be great for Valentines, Birthday parties or even for quick and easy gift wrap for small gifts.

Bible Verses for a new home. Dedicate your home with scripture.

Bible Verses About Home: Strong foundations for a new house

Bible SCRIPTURES for a New Home

These bible verses about home can be used for a house blessing for new construction, or used to decorate your home with scripture.

Several weeks ago, we decided to have a little family house dedication on our new home under construction by writing verses that held meaning and hope for our family. A new home blessing, if you will.

I originally got the idea from a young adult Christian book series I read and loved when I was younger – the Glenbrooke series by Robin Jones Gunn, and this per

In the book Wildflowers, the main character  is fulfilling her dream of opening a business, and invited all of her friends to the property before renovations for a blessing party.

They prayed, sang worship songs and wrote scripture right on the walls, studs, and sub-flooring.

I absolutely loved the idea that the blessings they wrote and prayed for would forever be etched in their memories.

I knew that if I ever built or renovated a home – I wanted to do something similar.

I love the idea that as we walk through the finished rooms of our home in just a few months, we’ll remember the verses written on the foundation of each room we enter.

And, maybe someday many, many years from now, a different family might have occasion to see the blessings written by us under the carpet or on the wall studs.

Today I’m sharing inspirational bible verses for a new home blessing.Bible Verses About Home: Scriptures for a Strong Foundation and New Home Dedication | Five Marigolds
