Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies – Gluten Free
Yes, you can have cookies for breakfast. As long as they are healthy like these Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies. I make them ahead so we can grab them and go on those busy mornings.
Carrots are the star of this recipe of course. They are loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin A among other micronutrients.
Oats give you fiber to help fill you up and fuel your day. Then we load in the healthy fats and protein from the nuts and coconut and add just a touch of sweetness with either honey or maple syrup (I used a bit of both).
