When I make a batch of my breakfast cookies, I always like eat some of the 'dough', straight from the bowl. It tastes so good and since it has to sit there 10 minutes before going into the oven, I just have to sneak a bite...or two. When I was making a batch the other morning, I kept eating it because I hadn't had any breakfast yet. That's when it hit me ~ why not just make it like that for a quick, no-cook breakfast?? Sometimes, I can't see the forest for the trees. :)
Breakfast Cookie Dough Morning Oatmeal ~ no cooking required!
serves one
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal (old fashioned or quick, not instant)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 banana, diced
- 1 Tbsp raisins (or dried cranberries)
- 1 Tbsp chopped walnuts (or nut of choice)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- chia or flax seeds ~ to sprinkle on
- carob or chocolate chips ~ for a special treat
- cocoa powder ~ to stir in for a hit of chocolate flavor (use with a sweetener)
- maple syrup or honey ~ to drizzle on
- milk of choice ~ for pouring over when serving
- sliced fruit of choice ~ for extra fruitiness
Directions
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and let the breakfast cookie dough sit for 10 minutes while you go about your morning routine. Enjoy as is or get creative with the optional add-ins. Some days I add milk, other days I add more fruit ~ all depends on my mood. :)
