Chunky Monkey Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

These quinoa breakfast cookies taste like dessert, but are healthy enough for breakfast! Flavored with banana, peanut butter, oats, quinoa & chocolate!

Posting a cookie recipe on the day that you're starting a 3-day juice cleanse probably isn't the best idea.

Here I am, sipping on green juice, practically drooling on my keyboard. I want to devour my screen! Seriously, all I want to be eating are these Chunky Monkey Quinoa Breakfast Cookies, and instead, I'm drinking vegetables and won't be having another bite of solid food for three days…wah!

BUT I couldn't resist sharing these. I made them on Friday and they were gone by Saturday, so that was a sign that you needed them as soon as possible.

The goodies inside this version are just too hard to resist.

First, there's chocolate. We haven't had chocolate in our cookies yet, and let's be honest…chocolate just makes everything better.

Second, there's peanut butter + banana, which if you know me, is pretty much my absolute favorite combo.

Third, there are chopped dates which again…obsessed.

And fourth, well….they're cookies. for breakfast. I just can't even.
