BREAKFAST COOKIES!
Seriously, these are great. They are packed with protein and fiber, low in sugar, and they taste really good. And the idea of a cookie for breakfast? Intriguing, to say the least, especially if you have kiddos.
These cookies come together fast with only a few common ingredients, and I like to make a big batch that we use for quick snacks and breakfasts for the next several days. I serve them with a little cup of milk and my kids think they are getting a treat, but it’s really a treat for me because these cookies are healthy enough for me to live with and the kids eat them willingly. I see no downsides.
The other thing I like is that they keep you full! With the peanut butter and oatmeal, these stay with you for a while, which is especially good for breakfast because I’m almost always ready for lunch before actual lunchtime arrives. They are a really good substitute for sugary cereals or poptarts when you’re in a hurry and need something you can eat fast.
