These healthy breakfast cookies are the perfect way to start your day! They are also great at a snack and they can be taken anywhere on the go!
They are loaded with healthy fats, proteins, fiber and nutrients and they taste delicious. So that is a win win for me!
Schools back in session so some quick and easy on-the-go breakfasts are a must and that is why I created this recipe.
These can easily be made gluten free by using a gluten free baking mix and they are naturally dairy free. They are also lower in carbohydrates. I like to make them lower sugar by using a lower sugar chocolate chip but you can use whatever chocolate chips you enjoy and the overall recipe is still low in carbs.
