Yummy Date Breakfast Cookies



Start your day of with a yummy cookie!!  Not just any cookie,  a healthy date cookie with avocados, oats, cinnamon, and yogurt.  You know that sounds good, and it is.  Cookies are my favorite food, so this delicious healthy treat is just what I need to get my cookie fix and fill my morning with a wholesome breakfast.  This recipe is great for breakfast on the run.  You make a batch at the beginning of the week and you will have enough cookies to last you a few days.  Just grab and go!

Ingredients
3 cups of old fashion oats
1 1/2 cup flour ( you can use whole wheat for more whole grain goodness)
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 ripe avocado, mashed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
2 eggs
2 cups of chopped dates (12 oz)




Preheat oven to 375.  
In a bowl mix oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.


In a separate bowl use a blender to mix the avocado, oil, and sugar together.  Then add the yogurt and eggs.


Combine the wet and dry mixture.

Take your dates.  I found mine at Walmart in the produce section (by the nuts and seeds).  




Chop the dates into tiny pieces





Add the dates into your batter.  Using a 1/4 cup measure scoop the batter onto a cookie sheet 2 inches apart.


Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.




Enjoy!
