[2 Smart Point] Breakfast Cookies

I made breakfast cookies today.

The best part? They're only two smart points, so I can enjoy them while doing Weight Watchers!

I was looking for breakfast alternatives to Pop-Tarts. Not that I have anything against the pastries or brand, but my boyfriend eats them almost every day, and I think a little variety would be good for him.

Someone on Facebook recommended breakfast cookies.

I'd never heard of them before, so I hopped on over to Pinterest and saw so many different varieties of wholesome cookies that could be eaten as a breakfast food!

I decided to personalize the idea of breakfast cookies to match the ingredient I have.

One big change was the use of liquid stevia instead of sugar.

This was because my dad had just given me some liquid stevia for my birthday. 

Did you know this magical stuff has no calories or fat or carbs in it?

It's also a 0 smart point sweetener on the Weight Watchers diet, which is awesome!

The other big change was using Nutella instead of peanut butter.

But doesn't nutella have a lot of fat and sugar?

Yes, but I had four jars of it before I started Weight Watchers and I've been trying to find a healthy-ish way to use it.

Also, I didn't have any peanut butter.

Long Story Short: I was looking for fun breakfast food for my boyfriend but, after some tweaking and personalizing, I found myself with breakfast cookies that are actually healthy enough for me to enjoy as well!

Add in the flour, baking soda and cinnamon, then fold in the oats and chocolate chips.

Roll or drop cookie dough onto baking sheets in the size you want. They don't spread, so you can put them fairly close together.

Bake for 7 minutes for small cookies or 10 minutes for large cookies. Let cool on baking sheets, then you can eat some now and store the remainder in the fridge or freezer for future breakfasts.
