A few weeks ago I rummaged around online looking for a Breakfast Cookie recipe. I usually add a link to where I found the original recipe that I end up tweaking but the one I found was hard to understand so I’m not going to leave a link :)
The past few months I’ve been trying out (here and there) a diabetic diet. Trying my best to not gain too much weight during this pregnancy. In an effort to be more successful at this diet I wanted to have a few healthy quick snacks that I can grab between diaper changes and preparing meals for my ever-growing children! I’ve heard many doctors and other smart people say that it’s best to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones. But that can be a challenge for a mom with six kids (one still inutero!)
I chose this recipe because it didn’t call for sugar, just a bit of dark chocolate, and what I’ve read (from some more of those smart people) is that a bit of good organic dark chocolate, low in sugar, is great for our bodies! So, by all means, throw in a handful of chocolate and enjoy it! God made the cocoa fruit and we should enjoy it from time to time!
So I’ve decided, while I will dabble in this diabetic diet here and there (I’m not a diabetic by the way but my midwife thought it was a good healthy way to eat while expecting), I’m also going to strive to live a balanced life and not worry too much about how fast I lose the “baby weight.” And if my kids want me to make them a chocolate cake for their birthday, then you bet, let’s have some cake!! :) Okay, back to this healthy breakfast cookie recipe. I thought they turned out pretty good for how healthy they are, and a filling snack for a mom on the go, I hope you enjoy tweaking this recipe to your liking as well! Add some currants, or pumpkin or sunflower seeds, or cranberries. Have fun with it!
