Healthy Carrot Oat Cookies
I created this recipe because I only had 1/4 cup butter in my fridge, so I had to improvise and try something a little healthier. The result was a delicious cookie that I can feel good about eating for breakfast or piling on a plate for my kids’ after-school snack. I’m so excited about how delicious they are! I need, yes need, dessert every day or it’s just not a great day for me. Sort of a problem, but not now with these healthier cookies as an option. These moist, cake-like cookies melt in your mouth! The glaze is totally optional, I mostly added it for looks so feel free to leave it off if you want less sugar (but it does make them delectable!). Also, if you wanted to you could ice them with a low-fat or even fat-free cream cheese icing.
Healthy Breakfast Cookies
We may not like to admit it, but we’ve ALL had cookies for breakfast before. I’m not shaming anyone, but I think there’s a way to enjoy cookies for breakfast AND feel good about it. These cookies are perfect for breakfast, especially for busy families, because they’re easy to grab-and-go in addition to being sneakily healthy. Your kids are eating veggies, whole-grain oats, and fruits for breakfast without having to whip up an entire breakfast spread. Feel free to experiment with the ingredients to create something your family loves. Add other fruits, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, or even protein powder for a little extra boost. I also like to wrap these cookies individually and freeze them, so kids can grab one and warm it up quickly before running to the bus.
