These cookies are super quick to whip up, taste amazing, and are full of good-for-you things to help keep you full through your morning. Oats. Seeds. Fruits. Nuts.
They have no flour, no added sugar, no oil and no eggs!
These cookies turned out crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. And yes, they do have a banana-y and coconut-y taste to them!
They actually reminded me quite a bit of amish baked oatmeal in a handy-dandy cookie form for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
And seriously. These are so easy to make.
Whip up the ingredients together, toss on the pan, bake, and eat. No sweat.

I stored my left overs in a container on the counter top with the lid just rested on the top, though you could also store them in the fridge for a cool treat in the afternoon.
