Giant Breakfast Cookie

This is very similar to overnight oats, but in a cookie form! I love this because just like the overnight oatmeal you can customize any way you would like it. I have been on a protein powder kick lately so I added a half a scoop of it to mine, but it will be great with or without it. If you don’t like banana add in dried fruit, canned pumpkin, or even chocolate chips. Enjoy:)

Ingredients:

½ cup quick oats

1 tbsp peanut butter

½ scoop protein powder (I used designer whey vanilla)

¼ cup almond milk

½ mashed banana or other mix-in of your choice

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until it has formed into a cookie type mixture

2. Transfer onto a small plate and refrigerate overnight

Update!

I made a few different versions of the breakfast cookie including chocolate chip, dried cherry and walnut, and pumpkin spice. I also baked them in the oven for 10 minutes at 350. I needed a portable breakfast to take to school and what better than a cookie!
