I think I tried every one sold on the market and through the internet and read everything about what a good breakfast cookie should be. I was trying to develop something other than the baked oatmeal (which I love) that was a real 'grab and go' food with nutritional value and not empty calories. Well I think I have finally hit on the answer. Below is the original recipe that isn't all that original cause it took me at least a dozen tries to get just right. All the previous ones were good but not good enough. So, you have the original or BASIC cookie and five variations to try. I hope that you will consider making a batch, wrapping them in single servings and freezing them so that when you are really in a hurry, you can grab and go!
My suggestion is that a serving is two cookies. They aren't really big but two of them will make you FULL.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 bananas -- mashed
1/3 cup applesauce, unsweetened
2 cups oats, rolled (raw) -- quick cooking
1/3 cup milk, skim
1/4 cup craisins
2 tablespoons flax seed -- ground
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon splenda -- or to taste
2 scoops protein powder -- vanilla or plain
Preheat oven to 350°. Mix the dry ingredients together and then add all the wet ingredients and combine thoroughly. Let stand for 5 minutes to let the oats absorb the liquid. I use a meatball sized scoop to place 12 cookies on a sheet and flatten them a bit with my fingers.
This is NOT an ultra sweet snack type cookie. It is moist and dense, unlike other breakfast cookies which are always so dry. It is plenty sweet without any more than the one tablespoon of Splenda for me but you may want more.
