Jump to Recipe

These nutrient packed and delicious morning glory breakfast cookies will become a new breakfast staple in your home especially for your picky toddlers. The best part, is that you can sneak in veggies and they will never know it! Another bonus, there is no refined sugar and they still taste amazing!

I have been experimenting with different ways to “spice up” my toddler’s breakfast with things he will actually eat that are beneficial to him at the same time.

One of the great things about these cookies too, is that most likely, you will already have the majority of these ingredients in your fridge and pantry already. It’s a win win:)

After a couple different attempts, with different ingredients, I finally found the right combination for my toddler and he loves them!
