Hello and welcome to Mashable's air Friday, where we air fry anything and everything in the
name of deliciousness. I am culture reporter Tim Morrison.
And this week we are air frying a breakfast cookie.
This recipe comes from Tik Tok, where Nicole Addison on Tik Tok made this viral
recipe of a breakfast cookie.
Now you might be thinking, What is it?
Breakfast cookies? It's just like a chocolate chip.
Stand your cookie. And the answer is no.
This is kind of a healthy ish version of a cookie, something like kind of a breakfast bar and a cookie
shape. Hopefully that'll turn out nice and delicious.
Let's start with this is half a banana mashed up.
We've got half a cup, just normal oats.
This is half a scoop of protein powder. This is a teaspoon of baking powder.
We've got a tablespoon of almond milk, tablespoon of coconut oil.
And then finally, for toppings,
we've got some cinnamon and some chocolate chips.
The steps you're using, the next step we're going to do is we're going to get a
big, mixed,
big mixing bowl.
We're going to put it all together and we're going to form it into a cookie shape.
It's going to take action to save the chocolate chips for the end.
I almost made a mistake there.
We're going to top it sort of like a chocolate chip cookie.
But I am going to give just a sprinkle of cinnamon to mix throughout because I feel like that would be a
little bit better mix throughout the cookie
rather than as topping.
So once we got that, we're just going to mix it all up.
So it's a little bit, but I'm sure we can form it into a party of sorts in the
with chocolate chips and then get in the air fryer, so that's our next step.
But let's get a piece of paper down. So that way the cook is not leaking through to the
vote.
I've taken a piece of a sheet of parchment paper and laid it down.
That's where cookies are going to go so that it doesn't seep through or anything during the
process where your air frying the cookie.
Now, something to consider is try not to take up the
whole bottom of the basket with the parchment paper so you still get airflow throughout your
basket.
We're just going to take our batter, form it into kind of a puck shaped deal,
some kind of just making like almost like a burger patty like,
so what I'm doing here is a very technical term. We're just smoosh it down.
We're just going to take some chocolate chips, drop them right on top.
OK, our masterpiece is complete.
We've got a big old breakfast cookie.
We're going to put in the air fryer, 360 degrees,
10 minutes and we should have a nice, tasty breakfast ready to go.
And honestly, I think I probably would have cooked it for less
than 10 minutes.
It's looking a little burnt, but not too bad.
Sure,
it'll still be tasty.
So here's what we got kind of a little more charred exterior than you'd probably hope for.
But all things considered, could be worse.
So I cut off just a little piece.
If you see here, it's not bad on the inside.
It's got a nicely fluffy texture, at least from feeling it.
That's pretty good.
I mean, listen,
is it a ultra sweet chocolate chip cookie that you're going to get from some,
like very fancy bakery?
No, but that's not really what you want for breakfast
every day anyway. It's a little sweet.
It's got some nice texture. It's almost kind of like because I'm eating it warm.
It's almost like if you took granola and made the kind of a granola eat cookie.
And I appreciate the texture that you get from the oats,
and it's sweet enough to where you can still justifiably call this a cookie.
I think it's pretty good.
I think it's a nice, pretty healthy way.
Pretty easy.
You know, if you're in the market for like more of a sweet
breakfast, I think this is a pretty good option.
I would. I would recommend it.
