Eat-The-Rainbow Morning Cookies
Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, heart-healthy
Start your day energized with my grab-and-go, colorful, morning cookies. Have all your breakfast nutrients packed in one wholesome and colorful cookie. Who does not want a cookie for breakfast? I made my vegan cookies using lots of soluble fiber from beats and oats, natural sugars from banana and anti-inflammatory ginger and heart-healthy olive oil. This is the perfect pick me up paired with a great big cup of chai tea. Plus, you can store them in the freezer ready for you as soon as you wake up - ready for a new day.

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Prepare two cookie sheets with a liberal spray of coconut oil.

7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or the freezer for up to 2 months.
