Mini-batch Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits

Okay, fellow breakfast cookie addicts, let’s have a heart-to-heart. Familiar with those Belvita breakfast cookies? The ones that promise sustained energy and wholesome goodness? Yeah, those were my downfall.

Every time I’d grab a “family-size” box from Costco, it magically transformed into a “mama-size” box, and I’d single-handedly demolish the entire thing within a week. Needless to say, I don’t buy those boxes anymore. It wasn’t a value deal; it was a one-way ticket to diabetes town.

But instead of wallowing in sadness and self-control failure, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I created a mini-batch recipe that makes just two packets worth of Belvita-inspired cookies. Now, I can enjoy them, satisfy my craving, and move on with my life (until the craving strikes again a few months later).

The Mini-Batch Advantage:

This recipe is perfect for portion control and avoiding those “oops, I ate the whole box” moments. It’s also a great way to experiment with different flavors and mix-ins without committing to a large batch.

Wholesome Goodness:

These cookies are made with oat flour, flax seed meal, and a touch of maple syrup (or honey) for sweetness. They’re also packed with fiber and healthy fats.

Secret Weapon: Protein Bar S’mores:

Here’s a fun twist: I love to make “protein bar s’mores” with these cookies. Just take a quarter of your favorite protein bar (Barebells forever, especially creamy crisp!), place it on top of a cookie, and microwave for 10-15 seconds until softened and gooey. Then, sandwich it with another cookie, gently pressing down. It’s like a s’more, but with a protein boost and a symphony of textures. So good!

Let me know if you give these cookies a try!
