Ultimate Breakfast To Go

image

So many people are making overnight oats these days; or some version of them.  I too am a big fan because, one, they are easy to make, two, you can create so many different flavors, and three, they are easy to take on the go.

image

I wanted to turn overnight oats into a hand held breakfast that didn’t need utensils or even a napkin.  The ultimate breakfast on the go!

image

The way I see it, there are two types of people.  The ones that get up early and have adequate time to make coffee, prepare breakfast, and sit down with a newspaper and enjoy it all before heading out the door.  Then there are the people that like to sleep in till the last possible second and rush out the door while just barely having time to brush their teeth.

image

I am definitely more along the lines of the second scenario.  But in order to get as much sleep as possible and still eat a real food diet it takes some prep.  I pack my lunch, set out my clothes, and make sure I have a nourishing breakfast to take with me.

These breakfast cookies are the perfect to go breakfast, or snack, because you can safely eat them while driving, walking to school, or while waiting at the bus stop.  Like overnight oats they contain whole grains, healthy carbohydrates, and no refined sugars.  Plus you can make them in so many different flavors.

Make a large batch to have all week and even freeze the leftovers for later.

      1. This recipe looks delicious.
        I always appreciate when the nutritional information is included in a recipe as it a time saver. My husband is an insulin depended diabetic so the carbohydrate content of a serving of the recipe is most important. I do not usually have the time to do the research to figure the carbs in each ingredient. Therefore I tend to skip recipes without the nutrition info listed.

        1. I completely understand where you are coming from. Know that I don’t usually include nutrition facts since I care much more about the ingredients list in foods. I did a quick calculation and I estimate there to be about 18 grams of carb per cookie. Please know that this is just an estimation and ingredients may differ. I hope you enjoy!

  1. 5 stars
    This was delicious! Super simple and healthy. Loved it as a morning snack when I needed something to eat before lunch.

  2. 5 stars
    These were amazing! I left out the nuts since I didn’t have any and added extra raisins and they turned out so tasty! Will be making again!

  3. Question. How many cookies does this make? I know it says 8 servings but wasn’t sure if it was one cookie per serving. Going to try to make this soon and was curious.
