Soft, cake-like banana bread chocolate chip coconut breakfast cookies have a texture that’s a dead ringer for banana bread all rolled up into one incredible breakfast cookie!
Woohoo!! The first breakfast cookie of January. And you’d better believe it’s packed full of all the goods.
Just the basics. Like banana bread, chocolate, and coconut. Nbd.
It’s been an unofficial tradition on WAHO the last few years to always start off the new year with a killer breakfast cookie.
Hello. I’ve got enough breakfast cookie recipes to feed a small army of cookies-for-breakfast enthusiasts if you’re interested.
Gotta love a tradition that leads to things like banana bread chocolate chip coconut breakfast cookies. Biggest delicious mouthful you’ll ever have gracing your breakfast life.
The batter for these breakfast cookies is very similar to banana bread only sliiiiightly thicker to give us a thick cookie shape. They bake up incredibly soft, cake-like, and singin’ all those irreplaceable banana bread flavors.
Obviously the chocolate and coconut hurt NOBODY. Holy moly, I’d eat these for breakfast any day and err’ day.
Shouting from the rooftops how much you should consider giving breakfast cookies a permanent place on your breakfast agenda.
They can be totally made ahead and thus, they are grab and go friendly.
…also….need I remind you that they are cookies AND banana bread for freaking breakfast??
