I was in the mood to try something different for Tom's breakfast "on the go" this week. I decided to make healthy breakfast cookies instead of the usual muffins and scones. These cookies are full of whole wheat, oats and minimal amounts of sugar and fat. They are perfect to grab before leaving the house for the day.
I added chocolate chips to these cookies but raisins or nuts would work well too.
