Do you ever struggle with finding quick and easy breakfast options that are also healthy AND filling?  I’ve discovered that preparing breakfasts that I can wrap into individual portions and freeze is ideal.  Not only does it help me make smart choices that get my day off to the right start, but when these little goodies are made in advance, it’s perfect for grabbing and taking with me out the door on a busy morning.  These Cherry Almond Breakfast Cookies are the perfect make-ahead breakfast or healthy snacks recipes option that can help get your day off to a healthy start!

These cookies are super-simple to make!  You’ll start with a couple of ripe bananas for the base, along with almond butter.  For the sweetener, I used about two tablespoons of honey, but you can add up to 1/4 of a cup if you like a sweeter cookie.  The dried cherries will also add some sweetness, and some wonderful texture.  The dough comes together in just minutes, and with the help of a 1/4 measuring cup, they shape nicely into a 3″ cookie.

Once these cookies come out of the oven, they are pretty much ready to devour!  Let cool for a few minutes, and then enjoy right away, or transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.  I like to wrap these cookies in plastic wrap, and freeze.  I will pull one out of the freezer on my way out the door when taking my son to school.  It’s such a convenient breakfast option, especially when you’re short on time, but want to make a healthy choice.

I also love these cookies as a post workout-snack.  I typically work out right after I drop off my son at school first thing in the morning.  Once I’m done, I’m usually hungry but don’t want to ruin all the work I just put in at the gym.  This cookie is the perfect choice!  Not only is it filling, but since there is no refined sugar and has lots of protein, it’s a great option that will help me refuel.
