Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Makes a Terrific Protein Packed Breakfast Cookie

When Tropical Traditions sent me a jar of their organic coconut oil, my first inspiration was to make spiced nuts.

My second thought was to amp up my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe. I wanted a healthy oatmeal cookie I could eat for breakfast with that first cup of steaming coffee.

Protein Packed Breakfast Cookies

For me the perfect breakfast cookie includes lots of protein, a smidgeon of fat, and fiber to keep me satisfied for at least few hours.

The problem with oats was that they don’t pack as much protein punch as quinoa. If you’re watching your carbs, it’s true that they have a higher carbohydrate content, but I’ll take that carb and protein blast to get me started in the morning.

So I thought, why not replace my morning oatmeal with a quinoa packed breakfast cookie.

Protein Packed Breakfast Cookies

Just because I liked these quinoa packed breakfast cookies, didn’t mean they’d pass the taste test, so I passed them off as oatmeal cookies to my husband and sister-in-law.

“Blog worthy?” I asked.
“Definitely!” was the response.

So here you are! Blog worthy breakfast cookies. Take some to work and enjoy!
