Cookies for breakfast? When they feature fiber-filled oats and pecans, absolutely. Mild-mannered white beans keep these cookies moist and pump up the protein without adding any distracting flavour. Applesauce, dried fruit, and a dash of maple syrup add just a hint of sweetness. Store these in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Ingredients
Chopped pecans (unsalted, raw or dry roasted, no sugar added)

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place pecans on a prepared baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool.
2
In a mini food processor or blender, combine beans, applesauce, oil, syrup, and vanilla and process until smooth. Scrape into medium bowl.
3
Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well blended. Fold in apricots and pecans.
4
Using a mini cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. (If you don’t have a cookie scoop roll 2 tbsp mixture into balls.) Gently flatten rounds to ¼-inch thickness.
5
Bake until bottoms are golden brown, about 20 minutes, switching pans on racks halfway through. Cool 1 minute on pan then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
