Try these gluten-free, vegan Chewy Fruity Breakfast Bites for a quick, easy, and kid-friendly breakfast treat!
Breakfast… or dessert?
If you’ve been around this blog at all, you’ll know that dessert for breakfast is totally acceptable. I try to make all my desserts healthy enough that I can enjoy any time of day anyway. And sometimes I make my breakfasts decadent enough to serve them as a dessert!
Donuts, chia pudding, apple crisp, brownies… bring them on!
Chewy Fruity Breakfast Bites.
When my 5 year old woke up this morning, she asked if we could have cookies with kasha (oatmeal) in them for breakfast. I thought, eh, it’s Saturday, why not? So I whipped up these little guys.
Only 3 main ingredients, no gluten, eggs, dairy, or sugar. They’re pretty much oatmeal in cookie form!
Ironically, said daughter wouldn’t eat them because *gasp* they have raisins in them. Even though she loves raisins.
Sigh…
Thankfully, my hubby thought they were magnificent, and he, my oldest, and my son ate a whole 2 batches by themselves.
In the recipe card I’ve linked to some of the products from my affiliate partners that I like to use. Purchasing through these links won’t cost you anything extra. Thanks!
