Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies | Vegan & Whole Grain
Farro & Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies – Easy Vegan Breakfast!
Take classic oatmeal breakfast cookies to a new level of whole-grain goodness with FARRO!
Farro is a nutritious, superfood ancient grain with a hearty, chewy texture and rich nutty flavor. It’s packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, but is actually higher in fiber than most other grains!
Typically, you might see farro used in comforting soups and stews. But, you seriously won’t believe how scrumptious it makes these vegan breakfast cookies—Farr-OATmeal breakfast cookies, to be exact!
They’ve got the soft, sweet bite of a classic oatmeal raisin cookie, but they’re much lighter than you might expect.
Farro may be fiber-rich and nutrient-dense, but these oatmeal breakfast cookies aren’t dense at all!
A delicious whole grain and vegan breakfast option that you can take with you on-the-go. And, an awesome way to fit more fuel-filled nutrients into your mornings—even for the pickiest of eaters!
