Lately I haven’t been participating in WIAW because of mainly posting recipes and not taking pictures of every meal for a day. But with this whole “healthy holiday recipe” theme going on this month I figured I would join in!
Although breakfast isn’t the highlight of Holiday recipes, it is still rather important to be able to wake up to something delicious and nutritious.
Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are full of healthy ingredients that will keep you feeling energized for all the holiday festivities.

I don’t have the exact breakdown of stats for this recipe as it will depend on the size of your cookies. For 1 cookie out of a batch of 18 cookies you are looking at a rough breakdown of 6g fat/6g protein/12g carbs | |

If you mistake these for a dessert you may be surprised as these are a breakfast cookie. They are deliciously tasty, but not overly sweet (of course you could always add more sweetener if desired). | |
| Texture |
A+ |
The batter is really thick which results in a thick cookie that has a slightly crumbly texture, yet still sometimes with a bit of chew factor. Hopefully that description makes sense. | |
| General Comments: This recipe makes 18 large and thick sized cookies. |

Almonds and blueberries make a rather delicious nut-fruit pairing. Perhaps my favourite, or maybe apples-peanut butter is a better pairing. Hmm…can’t decide. Let’s leave it as a tie!

If you are grabbing breakfast to take on the go, what do you usually take? What is your favourite fruit-nut combo?

Almonds and blueberries are definitely a delicious combo, but I think my favorite would have to be bananas and almond butter. CanNOT get enough of that, and when chocolate is involved I’m just in heaven.

Ooooh love the sound of that combo!! I think my favorite fruit nut combo would have to be apples and cashew butter or blackberries and sunflower seed butter!! MAN I’m drooling just thinking about them haha!!

These look so good! I’ve actually never made breakfast cookies before. When I need a fast on-the-go breakfast I’ll usually make overnight oats in a jar.
My favourite fruit/nut combo is the same as Amanda – bananas and almond butter!
