Oat and Seed Breakfast Cookies
If you’re like me and your mornings a little rushed these are a lovely hunger kick to have ready with a cuppa! Made with simple ingredients these aren’t overly sweet or more~ish but just a nice early snack. The cookies are soft and chewy with a nice bit of crunch from the seeds and nibs. To store keep in an airtight container for up to 6 in the fridge. I do recommend keeping in an airtight container in the fridge as it stops them from drying out. I’ve also given recommendations below for how to change these up to suit what you have in the press at home.
