I'm having so much fun living by myself.
Last week I had Raspberry pancakes for breakfast, Carrot Cake pancakes for lunch and polenta pancakes with spinach, lemon and capers for dinner. Just because I can!
A few days later, I had 2 cookies for breakfast.
And then another for lunch.
And different variety every day for breakfast since.
Breakfast Cookies. Completely healthy Breakfast Cookies!
I've been wanting to make this post for ages. But I haven't been able to get any photos that I'm happy with. Healthy, Delish.... Not photogenic!
Start with your base, then choose the liquid/binder flavour!

1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

+ Add ins: 3x Tbs each of your favourites (nuts, coconut, goji, raisins seeds, sprinkles... go crazy!
The Variety Is Endless! Some of my favourites:

2 Tbs soy milk
1 tbs flax

Choc-Coconut Breakfast Cookie
Take out a tsp of flour and add a tsp of cocoa
Take out a tsp of milk and add a tsp of coconut oil (melted)

Got your flavour? NOW DOWN TO BUSINESS (or breakfast)
Stir until all combined, dough should stick together. Use your spoon to shape into a ball and spoon onto plate. Flatten out to about 1.5 cm thick. Buzz in microwave for about a min, or until middle is cooked.
Wait for it to cool a bit! It's really hard but much worth it!
*I don't add a sweetener when using Jam or Banana as a binding base!
