Hodge Podge Breakfast Cookies

There is nothing I despise more than paying good money for an ingredient that disappears into the depths of my pantry never to be seen again.

If you are anything like me (flat broke) then you can understand what I'm talking about here and really can't afford to buy expensive ingredients for just one recipe.

So today, I grabbed a hodge podge of ingredients leftover from my other recipes, threw them into a bowl, added a dash of this, a smidgen of that, and made a delicious breakfast cookie that is super soft and chewy, gargantuan, and is lower in calories and will fill you up more than your standard bowl of cereal and skim milk.

So now, you have no excuse not to make my other recipes 😉

Here's a rundown of the recipes I used some of the ingredients from:

This is the perfect recipe to use for any leftover ingredients you have in your pantry...got nuts? Throw them in! Unsweetened coconut? Sure! Chocolate chips? Absolutely!

Not only will your kids absolutely devour these *healthy* breakfast cookies, but they are super easy to make for them ahead of time as well. I made two batches so now

 P.S. I've noticed that I've started to get a good bit of traffic to the site lately. First off, thank y'all so much for your support! It really means the world to me! Also, I'd really, really, really, really, really love to hear from y'all...thoughts, questions, concerns...anything! So, please get some conversations started and leave a comment or two for me! I know right now the comment section is very hard to find, but I promise I'm working on it. If you look right underneath the "You might also like" thread you'll see a link that says either "leave a comment" or "# of comments". If you click on that, it'll take you to the comment section.
