Can you have cookies for breakfast? With these Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies, yes you can!
My kiddos never like eating breakfast first thing when they wake up in the morning. They always need a little time to wake up and settle in before they will even look at food! This means that, for better or worse, breakfast often is eaten on the go. We go through cereal and granola bars at an alarming rate. Even more alarming: the amount of sugar in those handy on-the-go options!
I decided to try the DIY route and make our own breakfast cookies!
Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies
These cookies are incredibly soft, and are better described as a cross between a muffin and a cookie.
These apple cinnamon breakfast cookies are the perfect weekday breakfast solution! Store in an airtight container in the fridge to eat this week, or freeze for later.

I LOVE the flavor of these cookies. I’m adding to my favorite “clean” recipe collection but will under bake them so they’ll be nice and soft and chewy:)
