These cookies are filled with wholesome ingredients and are super filling, so they really are perfect for breakfast, and even for a snack or something that’s a tad sweet to have at lunchtime.

Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or whole wheat flour)
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp coarse salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup canola oil
• ½ tbsp brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• ⅔ cup vanilla yogurt
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips + 2-3 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut flakes
• ½ small banana, smashed + ¼ cup blueberries
• 2 tbsp peanut butter + 2 Tbsp. strawberry preserves

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
   In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together oil and brown sugar, until fluffy. Whisk in eggs, until incorporated, then whisk in vanilla yogurt and vanilla extract.
