I really liked the Quaker Oatmeal breakfast cookies. Because I start work at 6:30 a.m I like things that are easy to pack to take for breakfast. Commercial products are full of refined sugar and other unhealthy ingredients, so I stopped eating them.
I found this recipe in a recent issue of Runner's World and modified it a bit. Feel free to do the same. I plan on taking a few of these with me this week as I travel to Northern Wisconsin for a business trip.
I have to be at work too early to use the breakfast buffet, so these will be perfect.
