Breakfast Cookies

I love living in a world where you can have cookies for breakfast! But these aren’t just any cookie, this recipe is forBreakfast Cookies. Full of fiber and whole grain oats these cookies are the perfect on-the-go breakfast.

These “cookies” are made with whole grain oats, apple sauce, a little bit of honey, and even has pumpkin puree thrown in, (because adding a veggie to breakfast is always smart). They are naturally sweet and filling.

Breakfast Cookies

These are very lightly sweetened, so don’t expect differently. If you are looking for more of a treat, you can double the honey. I also thought these were much better fresh, so next time I’m going to halve the recipe and just enjoy them the first day or two.

I highly recommend adding the chocolate chips on top, they make it feel much more like a cookie/treat.
