A few weeks ago, one of my friends hosted a freezer-friendly breakfast food swap. Everyone made up a big batch of something and we split them all up so everyone went home with a stock of grab-and-go breakfasts for their freezer. It was pretty genius.

It also introduced us to breakfast cookies. And now that we’ve been introduced, we’re here for the breakfast cookies.

These are a kid-pleaser. I mean, what kid doesn’t want to be handed a cookie for breakfast? It’s easy to control the sweetness of these and you could adjust the mix-ins to your liking – nuts, seeds, raisins, etc.

These will keep in an airtight container on the counter for a week, or they can be frozen.
