Well, I really surprised myself on this one, my lovelies. I made cookies for breakfast (really no surprise there, honestly), with only 3 ingredients. Yeah, that’s the surprise that surprised me. And, as we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so they’re healthy, packed with vitamins, minerals, fruit, and everything else good for you, in a quick-and-easy package that (literally) took me 2 minutes to whip together and 12 minutes in the oven. These 3 Ingredient Breakfast Cookies–the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time, can be made while I’m getting a shower. That fast. And, therefore, I love them. Heh.
As you know (if you’ve been reading the blog a while), I’ve used baby oatmeal for recipe substitutions like in my Edible Cookie Dough recipe, but I’d never gone so far as to COOK the cookie dough before…and WOW was I pleased. These 3 Ingredient Breakfast Cookies baked just like a cookie with all those ingredients that take forever to measure-out. So, yeah, 3 ingredients?! I’m in.
You don’t have to use exactly what I did, but I REALLY liked the strawberry, banana, oatmeal cookies…but there’s other options. Seriously, there’s a ton of flavors of the Gerber yogurt–and the Gerber cereal, available at Walmart, including Oatmeal Single Grain (what I used for my Edible Cookie Dough recipe), Multigrain Cereal, Oatmeal & Banana Cereal, and (what I used for the 3 Ingredient Breakfast Cookies) Lil’ Bits Oatmeal Banana Strawberry. I guess I could have used any of these for the cookies, but I was really liking the idea of little bits of strawberry in my cookies–er, breakfast. Heh.
