Breakfast Cookies

I've been making these breakfast cookies for years now.  I started making them from a recipe I found on Pinterest and it has slowly evolved into my own version.  With a mix of protein, simple and complex carbs and good fats they're healthy, satisfying and great as a quick breakfast, or post workout snack.  

Breakfast Cookies

1 C rolled oats
1/2 C unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 C almond meal
1/4 C sliced almonds (or chopped nuts of your choice)
1/2 C dried cranberries (of dried fruit of your choice)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 Tbsp hemp seed protein powder

1 mashed banana
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 C liquid egg whites

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and wet in a small separate bowl.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mix well and scoop onto a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 270 for 15 min.
Makes about 12 cookies, each cookie is about 120 Cal, Fat (g) 4.7, Carbs (g)14.8, Fiber (g) 2.5, Protein (g) 5.3
