Don’t get me wrong, I love cereal and have been known to eat a bowl for dinner when I am on my own (shh… don’t tell). My kids munch on cereal instead of popcorn on movie nights. But for breakfast, when my kids eat sugar, I mean cereal for breakfast they are hungry again within an hour. Most mornings I am making eggs or pancakes but there are mornings that I don’t have time for that stuff. Instead, I make what I call “Breakfast Cookies”. Cookies for breakfast makes me an awesome mom according to my kids but it’s quick and healthy when we have a busy morning. Now, I am not a baker. I am not good at following recipes because I am very much, a pinch of this, dash of that, ooo let’s throw this in, kind of girl. This has served me well in cooking but I have had a few disastrous results with baking (it’s like chemistry, who knew?). Breakfast Cookie Recipe I took a basic peanut butter oatmeal cookie recipe and doctored it to suit my needs. I wanted less sugar and more protein because these are for breakfast. You can omit the chocolate chips entirely if you wish. I took out an entire cup or sugar and reduced the amount of chocolate chips. You can also add protein powder if you’d like (I use vital proteins unflavored collagen for both protein and collagen). Ingredients Instructions Notes I hope you love these breakfast cookies as much as me and my kiddos do. These are a great for busy mornings and a healthier alternative to doughnuts!
