Have some granola (or cereal) you want to repurpose? Try these chewy/crunchy breakfast cookies!
Because one woman’s breakfast is another woman’s dessert?
These are super fun and the crunch is awesome. We’re finally starting to share more food between households post-pandemics and these cookies are neighbor-approved.
All you got to do is to decide: Are they breakfast or are they dessert? I vote both!
Somebody stop me before I continue to generate cheesy food blogger speak like a well trained LLM.
Let me know if you give them a try!
