We love a good cookie for breakfast, especially when we're in a rush, or on the go.
These Tropical Granola Breakfast Cookie Bars are fantastic! They're hearty and full of nutritious ingredients such as, oats, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, and dried fruits, making them extremely satisfying, especially for breakfast.
The texture reminds us of something in-between a scone, flapjack and cookie - so good!
Although we have designed this recipe as a 'breakfast cookie', they are in-fact a delicious snack anytime of the day. They also make a great snack to enjoy on the go, or on a picnic.
These breakfast cookies are also fantastic for meal-prep, as they stay fresh for 2-3 days in an airtight container. Delicious eaten by themselves, or served with some natural yoghurt.
Lets crack on with the recipe.
Happy Baking!
