Breffast. First and last thing on my mind every day apparently...But there are just so many options! I've been meaning to make these delightful breakfast cookies since Pedro liked them SO much when I made them a few years back. Well they're back and better than ever.
I made a few tweaks, including not using chocolate (what?) just to mix things up a bit. Mixing the dry ingredients:
I deviated slightly from the recipe and did ⅓ cup raisins + a package of dried fruits from Starbucks because it was laying around. Pantry clean out, people. They give ALL the toppings at Starbucks when I go so I usually end up saving all the random things and adding them to things like this or granola. Anyway, the most important thing to note about these cookies is that they have zucchini so you can get yo GREENS! Lots of other hearty ingredients including almond flour, oats, nuts and spices. You can easily make them vegan by swapping out a flax egg (1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 Tablespoons water) for the regular egg.

Hi def closeup so you can see just how many oats there are:
Gotta eat 'em all.
I enjoyed these with a glass of vanilla almond milk that I frothed with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
