Hummingbird Breakfast Skillet Cookie

Hummingbird Breakfast Skillet Cookie

One of my favorite treats is the Southern hummingbird cake. I put my nutritious and fun twist on this dessert by turning it into a breakfast skillet cookie filled with nutrient-dense ingredients – but it still doesn’t sacrifice on that classic hummingbird flavor. This skillet cookie gets much of its sweetness from banana and pineapple. Each serving contains 5 grams of fiber (if cut into 6 servings), making it the perfect breakfast to keep you and your children full and focused all morning long!
