Banana Breakfast Cookies

Since I’m always on the go between teaching, client calls, classes + health fairs, I really like to have healthy, low sugar snacks to eat before I teach/workout or bring with me on-the-go. I have learned that I prefer not to teach or workout on an empty stomach, but I also can’t eat a whole breakfast without feeling sick halfway through it. Typically, I’ve been making + grabbing for my Energy Nuggets or Beach Balls, but I was craving something new. With a few bananas getting a little too ripe, I decided to create these banana cookies. They are only sweetened with cinnamon + banana and taste amazing!!! For this recipe, I used sunflower butter, but you can substitute whatever nut butter you have on hand. These are super easy + convenient from an ingredient + time perspective so I hope you enjoy them 🙂
