Healthy, Clean Eating Recipes
Are You a Victim of Sucky Diet Syndrome? Eat a COOKIE!
Diet got ya down? Low carbs, no sugar, no fun? Then it's time you
had a cookie. Heck, have one for breakfast. Or two. Yeah, I'm serious! Life's
too short for sucky diets! Now before you dive into a bag of Oreos™, let me
explain...
One of the things I love most is creating in the kitchen... sometimes my
experiments work and sometimes they flop, but this one (you'll be
glad to know) is a keeper - Frosted or Unfrosted! These giant treats look like
snicker-doodles when they come out of the oven, and taste like banana bread.
High in protein and fiber, with a great balance of carbs & fat, they make a
terrific breakfast on the run. If you'd like a quick & easy go-to breakfast
cookie that won't bust your diet, give these a whirl... and let me know what you
think!
GF tip... this can easily be gluten free - just check your ingredient labels to be sure your products are GF.
