Clean Eating Banana Blueberry Cookies

Yes, you can eat cookies for breakfast! These healthy banana blueberry cookies are gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and free of refined sugar. Eat them for breakfast or dessert.

Good news. You can have cookies for breakfast! 

Well, not any cookie. These clean eating banana blueberry cookies can be on your breakfast list because they're gluten free and dairy free and contain no eggs or refined sugar.

But, that doesn't mean they're free from great taste. There's the natural sweetness from the banana and blueberries, and walnuts add a nice crunch and some added protein.

This recipe came from my love of my two ingredient banana cookies. I eat them all the time.

They're great before a workout and I carry them to the gym with me afterward for a quick energy boost.

Because I eat them all the time, I wanted to try something new.

And seeing as summer fruits are so fabulous right now, I thought why not throw in some fresh blueberries?

They almost look like chocolate chips, but these are just a wee bit healthier.

When the blueberries melt in the oven they bring in a nice added sweetness and even get a little syrupy.

I love the play of the blueberries with the bananas and oats in these healthy cookies.

These clean eating gluten free cookies are best stored in the fridge.

When you’re ready to eat them, throw them in the toaster oven for just a few minutes to warm them up.

You won't know whether to eat these for breakfast or dessert.
