Easy, healthy breakfast/snack cookies without any added sugar or refined flour, that are full of healthy nuts and fruit to make them plenty sweet!
Pair these with a tall glass of dairy or non-dairy milk for that added protein boost.
I’m one big spoiled baby. My mom has been visiting us for the last month or so, so she’s taken over chef duty. I can’t not bake but I haven’t had the best of health recently so now she’s taken on dessert chef duty too!
Of course I had to request these cookies that she used to make while I was one hungry breastfeeding beast. While resting on the couch with my chai tea and fuzzy blankie (that she also knit btw) I just found myself daydreaming of the scent of cinnamon, toasty oats, and sweet baked fruit that filled the house while these were in the oven. Is there such a thing as craving scents? I had to smell that smell again.
