Ok. So I’ve been doing a lot of dessert recipes lately. First, it was the blog’s birthday, so I haaaad to celebrate with Funfetti Cheesecake. Then, because I was craving cinnamon rolls, I haaaad to make Nutella Cinnamon Rolls 3 Ways. Then I had an overload of apples, so I just haaaad to make Caramel Apple Dessert Pizza AND Salted Caramel Apple Bars.

I mean. I just had to. You get it.

And tomorrow, I’m going to show you how to use up all that leftover Halloween candy you’re all going to have this weekend.

Today, however, I’m taking my love for sweet things, and turning it into a much healthier treat with these healthy breakfast cookies.

Yep! You get to eat cookies for breakfast and any day you get to do that is a really good day.
