The Kitchen Sink Monster Breakfast Cookies<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Looking for a delicious AND nutritious breakfast you take on-the-go during your busy week?<\/h3>\n

Eat your morning oatmeal in cookie form, because why not??!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our Kitchen Sink Monster Breakfast Cookies are incredibly versatile and customizable to your family\u2019s preferences and OH SO GOOD!<\/h3>\n

These Breakfast Cookies can be easy on the budget too, since you can use up whatever ingredients you happen to already have in your kitchen.<\/h3>\n

I’ve provided substitutions for most of the ingredients, so mix & match ingredients to find YOUR favorite combos!<\/h3>\n

These monster cookies make for AWESOME snacks too!<\/h3>\n

I love to keep mine in the freezer, then I let them thaw for a few minutes and enjoy while slightly frozen. YUM.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I try to grab some protein like a boiled egg to eat alongside. The protein + complex carb combo helps to keep us satisfied longer.<\/h3>\n

Store your Breakfast Cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or the freezer for 6 weeks.<\/h3>\n

\u27a1\ufe0fWhen shopping for ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Look for a higher percentage of cacao for the chocolate chips, and always read through the ingredients.<\/h3>\n

There are usually lots of questions about chocolate brands – I like to visit the specialty (nicer) chocolate section at the stores and find a really high quality, (often organic) dark chocolate bar on SALE<\/strong> – so I’m often trying something different and new because the sales dictate my purchase.<\/h3>\n

\ud83c\udf6bA high-quality dark chocolate bar works great too! I’ll often find a beautiful organic dark chocolate bar on sale, then chop it up to use for things like this.<\/h3>\n

I like to buy the highest quality I can find when it’s on SALE! I’m always keeping an eye out for a good deal and will often stock up when a high-quality product is on special.<\/h3>\n

Use any dark chocolate chips of your choice: the higher cacao percentage = more health benefits.<\/h3>\n

\ud83c\udf6fSweetness Factor is a very personal taste preference, so you may want to use more or less pure maple syrup or raw honey, depending on YOUR family’s specific taste preferences.<\/h3>\n
