  Breakfast cookies…
  
  I wanted to bake something portable for breakfast.
  
  My initial thought was to do a banana bread, but my kids are hot and cold with banana bread these days. Gotta mix things up.
  
  I decided to make these cookies instead. I am calling them breakfast cookies because they have whole grains, banana, and Multi-grain Cheerios. Breakfast things, right? Our “healthy” breakfast cookies ingredients also include flaxseed meal and my personal fave, almond butter. Alternately, you could substitute the almond butter for peanut butter. Your taste, your call.
  
  These cookies are not overly sweet, but just sweet enough that you will feel like you are having a treat for breakfast.

  Molasses.
  
  Either you love it or hate it.
  
  I love it and I am always looking for ways to get more calcium into the body. Did you know that blackstrap molasses has calcium?
  
  Never mind the calcium. These cookies have a ton of other awesome ingredients.
  
  Just take a look at that list. Begging to be made!
  
  Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies
  
  Ingredients:
  - 1/4 cup grapeseed oil (or canola)
  - 2 tbl of dark molasses
  - 1/2 cup honey
  - 2 eggs
  - 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  - 1/2 cup almond meal
  - 1 cup whole wheat flour
  - 1 cup flaxseed meal
  - 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
  - 1 bag Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Whisk together the oil, molasses, honey, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Add almond meal.
  4. Then stir in flaxseed meal, flour, ginger, and chocolate chips. Combine well.
  5. I made these babies big. Drop heaping spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet. (I use parchment, but you could grease it)
  6. Bake 18-20 minutes.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  They were moist, but not crumbly.
  
  I loved these.
  
  Plenty chocolatey.
  
  The 10 year old My Foodie Call member did NOT like these.
  
  The other two My Foodie Call kids loved these. I even got a compliment..woohoo.
  
  Hmmmm, must be the pickiness factor.
  
  We all have one. Do you have one family member that seems to reject things more than the other?

- Guilt-free Flour-less Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  Here is a great recipe that is healthy and does not require a billion ingredients (always a big deterrent for me) This recipe is pretty much all over Google and Facebook for that matter so I thought I would give it a try. Turned out great. Healthy and most people have these ingredients right there in the pantry. Assuming you have…
  
  Garbanzo beans. Or Chick peas. Why are there two names? Always wondered that. Anyhow garbanzo beans…Doesn’t everyone have these?
  
  Back to the cookies…
  
  Garbanzo beans and peanut butter? Protein packed. The only mistake I made in this recipe was to not double it. 😦
  
  Eat me.
  
  You have this in your pantry, right?
  
  1 1/4 Cup Canned Chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
  2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  1/2 Cup + 2 Tbs Natural Peanut Butter
  1/4 Cup Honey
  1 tsp. Baking Powder
  1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips (I used 60% Ghiradellhi chips. Why? The best. Promise.)
  
  What to do:
  
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  
  Non-stick spray. Bleck. Parchment. Even cooking, easy clean up.
  
  Rinse and towel blot garbanzo beans so that most moisture is gone.
  
  See how wet the paper towel is underneath? Blot it even more!
  
  Combine all ingredients in a food processor (except the chocolate chips) Process until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  
  Add your chips and pulse a few more times.
  
  Now we are in business.
  With wet hands (because it is DANG sticky) form into 1-2 inch balls (depending on how big you want them) and place on parchment paper.
  1. Bake for 10 minutes.
  2. Press down slightly with a fork.
  3. Bake for another 3-5 minutes or until solid
  Again. Should have doubled. Hate to ration cookies.
