Healthy Breakfast Cookies
I'm not going to sugar coat it (HA, get it?), but breakfast cookies are basically just oatmeal raisin cookies with a bit of added flax seed to make it feel like you are eating something super healthy.
That's like taking a cheese cake and adding chia seeds on top and being like “See? Fiber! Let's eat it for breakfast!”
I always, always advocate for real, whole foods. You are going to feel and function best, and you will get to eat more. (win, win, win)
BUT, in the off chance that you would rather have something sweet and warming for breakfast rather than eggs & veggies, I have your back.
