I need cookies, but I really don’t NEED cookies. You feel me?
Maybe that’s how and why cookies were created. Well, that’s why these Chocolate Cherry Breakfast Cookies were created.
I need all-natural ingredients, fiber filled oatmeal, and protein packed nut butter all combined into a healthy and delicious breakfast cookie . . . and don’t forget the chocolate.
The chocolate, well, it is totally optional. The dried cherries already provide that sweetness that all cookies need, but really, mornings are better with a tinyyyy bit of chocolate included.

TIP TO MAKE THESE OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES EVEN HEALTHIER
To use even less chocolate yet still HAVE it on the cookies, simply drizzle melted chocolate over cookies once they have cooled.
These gluten-free breakfast cookies are just what we need to chase away the winter blues. Yes, chocolate in the morning is good for the soul.
One of our extremely popular recipes is Healthy Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. No eggs, no dairy, and (of course) gluten-free. Instead of using flour, I used oats and Voila! Delicious Breakfast Cookies are born!
TIP: Make these in even smaller bite-sized cookies for little ones and cut back the cook time by about 3-4 minutes.
Good morningggggg.
Well, really they can be made for many occasions. Brunch with friends, midday cup of tea or snack time (when I really need to NOT eat those candy bars and instead opt for something a little more natural that still satisfies my sweet tooth). #ProblemSolved
