I made these breakfast cookies for my kids as a reward for eating so healthy lately.They are really enjoying eating Vegan because it means lots of fresh fruits, their favorite. My daughter is a huge fan of blueberries and bananas. these cookies were inspired by her. I wanted her to have a nice warm breakfast today. We fight with cereals, grits and oatmeal lately. What I want them to eat and what they want to eat rarely aligns. Everyone with kids understands this struggle.
This is my "tricked you into eating a low sugar, healthy breakfast anyways" Cookies. I can always get them to eat cookies. Who says you can't eat cookies for breakfast? I make them Vegan ice cream for breakfast, so cookies shouldn't be a surprise. These were super easy, chewy and bursting with blueberries. What a wonderful & healthy way to start their morning, with a cookie.
