Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies are a make ahead breakfast you won’t regret!

These are… well, to die for, if I’m honest! I don’t know about you, but I am NOT a morning person. Back in my hay-day I would get up, hit the gym, go to work, and shine like the fit 25 year old I was. Now, as a mom, I’m tired. I get up, nurse my coffee (that often gets cold before I finish it), and get the kids to school. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, BUT, I do love a good hack that can help my mornings be a tad more tranquil.

Enter, healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies. Honestly, what did we do before them?! They’re all the good things packed into a delicious bundle of cookie…. right?! So, here we have a delicious version of a breakfast cookie that you won’t feel guilty about.

These are life saving on busy weekdays, after a workout, or even to satisfy me during my post-dinner nighttime dessert cravings! They’re all around good stuff that are, dare I say, good for you! I load up my mixer with ingredients like oats, flaxseed, peanut butter, cinnamon, bananas… ok I need to stop. I’m getting hungry! I’ll let the recipe speak for itself.

We always have some of these babies on hand. The kids pop them like candy. They are definitely gone within a few days of baking! I have a feeling your story will be the same. Happy baking! xoxo

For my gluten free friends, swap out flour for a nut version, and get GF oats. Enjoy!
