‘Tis the season for COOKIES FOR BREAKFAST.
Who says that cookies only have to be for dessert? These are made with good-for-you ingredients that they can be enjoyed for breakfast! Think oats, whole wheat flour, dark chocolate and peanut butter.
A good balance of fiber and carbohydrates for energy to jump start your day. These would make a fun Christmas morning breakfast for the family and are easy to whip up with ingredients you have on hand.
Instead of using refined sugar to sweeten these, I used Bob’s Red Mill Date Sugar.
A few weeks ago on Instagram, I shared alternative sweeteners to use this holiday baking season that would provide more vitamins and minerals and in some cases, lower glycemic. DATES are definitely one of them – a good source of fiber, potassium and magnesium.
What cookies are you making for the holidays? I plan on making some classics like peanut butter blossoms, Russian teacakes and white chocolate gingerbread cookies. Let me know on Instagram!
