    Healthy Breakfast Cookies | The Foodie Eats

    Made with oats, Cheerios, and ground flax, these healthy monster break cookies are a great  grab-and-go breakfast for the kids, and adults, on busy mornings.

    There are a few things I DO NOT like for breakfast: namely oatmeal and plain Cheerios. But if you make them into something delicious, I'll eat all of them! Enter these healthy breakfast cookies. Yes, they have sugar and a touch of butter, but they are packed with oats, Cheerios, and ground flax - all know for recusing cholesterol. So you can sign me up for that reason alone.

    Not to mention... this is a great grab-and-go breakfast for the whole family on those mornings where you don't have a lot of time. We can eat them in the car on the way to drop off the kid at school. I know, not the best practice - don't judge my life! Lol...

    ...and pulse for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fully combined and broken up. You don't need a flour-like consistency, just broken up very small.
