Granola Cookies

These Granola Cookies are the perfect on-the-go breakfast treat guaranteed to keep you satisfied til lunch!

It’s been crazy busy at the BHK lately friends! I have been working on some exciting things for the month of February and with the Super Bowl coming up, followed by Valentine’s Day, the month is already flying. Unfortunately, since I’ve been so busy, I’ve been neglecting the most important meal of the day…breakfast. Granola Cookies to the rescue!

Now, I usually don’t condone eating cookies for breakfast, but these beauties definitely get the green light. I’ve loaded them with all the tasty ingredients found in your favorite breakfast granola, so clearly they are an acceptable breakfast food in my book. They’ve got oats, pumpkin seeds, pecans, coconut, cranberries, apricots and even some mini chocolate chips! They’re super simple and the perfect on-the-go breakfast treat that will keep you satisfied til lunch!

Enjoy your weekend folks. Have fun watching the Super Bowl and see you back at the BHK next week!
