Without the stand-by of cold breakfast cereal, sometimes we just need something quick and easy to hand the kids on the way out the door on an especially rushed morning. I keep a batch of these breakfast cookies in the back of my fridge for just a morning such as that (or, let’s be honest- most Thursday mornings!). They also pack really well into backpacks for hiking and lunchboxes, and are sweet enough to be served as a dessert as well.
