    It's my birthday!

    Birthday breakfast cookies, anyone?...

    Mornings around here can be pretty hectic.

    We get up, get ready, and eat breakfast all in the space of about 60 minutes.

    Because our time is limited, the breakfasts I make have to be quick, easy, healthy, and delicious.

    There is a rotating list of what the girls enjoy, including this Vanilla Avocado Shake, these Berry Muffins, and today's cookies!

    I've never subscribed to the idea of a 'breakfast cookie'. If I'm having a treat, I prefer it to be after lunch or dinner, but this recipe is different.

    Only ONE tablespoon of added sweetener and gobs of nutrition from ingredients like oats and pumpkin. This is a morning treat I can get behind.

    How to customize your low sugar cookies

    The kids just love these! They also make great snacks if you don't finish the whole batch.

    This recipe is for a small batch, as I like to make them fresh.

    You can vary the add-ins as you wish. My daughters enjoy raisins, pumpkin seeds, and coconut, but you can use any nut, seed, or dried fruit you like. Just keep the amount to around 1/4 cup total.

    However you make these, I hope you enjoy them!

        A very happy birthday! 💗🌸💗
        I am Pisces too! 🤗

        Thanks for another awesome recipe.
        I am assuming I could use banana if I don't have applesauce/pumpkin puree.

      What better way to start off you birthday than with eating cookies for breakfast! I'm sure these cookies are sweet and satisfying without being overly sweet like most baked goods!
