The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie
These cookies are the ultimate breakfast cookie. They taste so sweet but they're low in sugar. They get their sweetness from bananas, raisins and a little brown sugar.
Servings: 1 dozen

- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

Instructions

- In another bowl, mix the flours, baking soda and salt together.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend together. Stir in the oats, raisins and pecans.
