Healthy Seed Oatcake Cookies
These are not your typical ooey gooey soft chocolate chip cookie. As a matter of a fact, they are simply not comparable, they are completely different cookies. Before you dive into this recipe, I want you to picture a crispy oatcake, yet a little soft, with a punch of seedy flavour, and chewy dates and raisins. It is the ultimate boosting breakfast cookie that will most definitely taste as good as it makes you feel.
Make it a Meal
While this breakfast cookie is a great option to have as "breakfast", when I am having it as a meal, I like to have it alongside or on top of a yogurt bowl, because protein;) But seriously, have it on top of any greek yogurt you like with some fruit of choice and it is just SO GOOD.
