Breakfast Brookie

Breakfast Brookie

Dessert for breakfast is often my motto! I’m always up for ‘healthifying’ our favorite goodies so they won’t drastically spike our blood sugar and we can enjoy them for any meal. This way we can honor our cravings and still feel satisfied! This brookie; or a cross between a brownie and a cookie, is fabulous crumbled on a smoothie or yogurt bowl.
