Cookies for breakfast? You betcha – especially when they are packed with whole grains & fruit!
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic whole wheat flour
- 1 cup organic old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp organic cinnamon
- 1 large organic egg
- 1/3 cup organic virgin coconut oil, melted

- 1 medium banana, very ripe and mashed
- 1/3 cup unsweetened mini carob chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon
- In a separate small bowl beat the egg. Add the melted coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract and stir well. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined
- Add grated apple and mashed banana and stir until all ingredients are well mixed
- Stir in carob chips
- Roll the cookie dough into 1 inch sized balls (you can make smaller or larger to suit your dog’s size)
- Place each dough ball on the cookie sheet and press down lightly with the bottom of a jar, glass, or a fork to flatten a bit
- Bake for 15 minutes, checking after about 12-13 mins to be sure the cookies are not getting too brown in your oven
- Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before giving to your dog
