Orange Banana Breakfast Cookies

Citrus Desserts, Cookies, Recipes

Orange Banana Breakfast Cookies | On Sutton PlaceWelcome to February and the new fresh flavor of the month…Orange. I know I’m a few days late but I had a hard time deciding. In the end I went with another citrus because I enjoyed the lemons of January so much. I have a variety of recipes to share including a main dish, of course some desserts and today’s recipe, Orange Banana Breakfast Cookies.

These are a healthy and hearty small cookie…so there’s no need to feel guilty if you have two! They may be little but they are packed full of nutty flavor. I used pecans because I had them in the freezer. I had toasted them before Christmas but didn’t use them all. The  texture from the nuts is perfect with the fruit.

The only thing I didn’t have on hand was the whole wheat flour and the orange. It’s not necessary to use two different flours if you don’t have them in your pantry. I have used different flours in this recipe and the cookies always come out great. My favorite so far is the combo of 1 cup of whole grain oat flour and 1 cup of regular flour.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, cinnamon and baking soda.
  3. In the bowl of a standing mixer cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla, orange zest and banana.
  5. In one batch, add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in nuts.
  7. Using a small cookie scoop, drop rounds of dough onto baking sheet.
  8. Bake 10 – 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Cool on cooling racks.

The original recipe (I’m sorry but I have no idea where it came from) called for 1/4 c. old fashioned oats. If you wanted to add those just leave out 1/4 c. of one of the flours.
