One thing I’m not great at is the “morning rush”. I’m talking about the routine before we get out the door… getting ready, making a lunch, getting my daughter fed and dressed (which takes an eternity most days), and then somehow remembering to feed myself.
I usually end up making something to eat in the car because I haven’t quite mastered this morning routine just yet. I’m sure I’ll get there eventually as these things take time.
So this recipe for superfood breakfast cookies was born out of the need for something quick and easy on these hectic days. I wanted to created something full of healthy whole grains and seeds. It’s basically my regular oatmeal, just in the form of a cookie. I started paring one of these superfood cookies with a green smoothie and it’s become the perfect quick and easy breakfast.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but my husband really likes these with his morning coffee. So there’s that too.
Either way, give them a try. Make a double batch and pop the rest in the freezer for those hectic mornings!
