Carrot Cake Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

But for reals, if you are someone who is focused on eating healthy food, then I?m sure you know how important breakfast is. And you probably think about those same things as you're planning your morning meal. But I feel like where most people get hung up is the time. It?s such a common misconception that making a healthy breakfast has to be time consuming. That couldn?t be farther from the truth!

And it?s actually one of the main reasons why I wrote Quinoa for Breakfast ? to give you TONS of breakfast options that aren?t going to take a ton of time to make.

Time is also one of the reasons why I love having quick breakfasts on hand, like my Zucchini Bread Quinoa Breakfast Cookies. Breakfast cookies are a quick, on-the-go breakfast option that are seriously packed with nutritional superstars! They?re also fairly forgiving so you can really play around with flavors and ingredients to make them your own (my Toasted Coconut Quinoa Breakfast Cookies and Carrot Cake Quinoa Breakfast Cookies are both the same base, but a different flavor profile!).
