Do You Like Cookies For Breakfast?

[Lon]

I had "Quaker Oats" Breakfast Cookies with my morning coffee today. Never ever had them or even heard of them before. Quite good and filling.

 

[RadishRose]

I'll eat anything I'm in the mood for at breakfast; might be cookies too.

 

[hollydolly]

I only ever eat brunch...and so I'll pretty much eat anything ..I love Quaker oats oatmeal.. and oatcakes, so I dodn't see why I wouldn't like ''breakfast cookies'' although I've never seen them in our stores...

I have those sometimes for breakfast or at night with a protein shake for supper.

 

[dollie]

too me most of those cookie bars are too sweet

I'm hooked on the BelVita peanut butter sandwich breakfast biscuits--might as well call them cookies. Just tried the Nature Valley brand and they are pretty good too, and lower in price. My usual breakfast consists of the biscuits, yogurt, and a banana.

I like those, too. And the Nature Valley honey and oat ones are good anytime.

If you're apt to eat cold cereal for breakfast, you may as well have milk and cookies, imo. I don't see much difference.

The whole grain cold cereals I like cost $5 for a small box. You can get a dozen and a half cookies for $3. And these days, when the cereal label says "whole grain" I have to wonder what's in the ones that aren't labelled that way. Pretty sure they're either processed corn meal or processed, un-glutonated flour.

Yeah, Why not ? Heck of a lot easier than dirtying up a bunch of cooking utensils.

These energy bars or breakfast bars- whatever they are, with some granola, chocolate chips, some nuts and or fruit are very close to being Cookies. For the money, they are not all that nutritious. Serving is just over 1/2 oz. (0.7) I didn't see any nutrients, 190 calories per just over a half-ounce bar sounds like a lot of empty calories- just as cookies are.

I'd rather eat cookies, myself. At least I know I'm eating junk and not thinking I'm eating something that is enhancing my health. Sugar does give you energy as the commercial says. I used to think they were somewhat healthy, but since I looked, I don't see it.

Interesting information!

They don't seem to be any healthier than the Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe from the folks at Quaker Oats.

My problem with having cookies for breakfast would be getting my head stuck in the cookie jar, LOL!!!

 

[RadishRose]

Bea, wow- one your your cookies is 109 calories less than one Nature Bar. ("nature" just a buzz-word to create a mind set, anyway. )

17 less grams of carbs, only 1g less fiber, but that's moot at this point I think.
2 grams more protein.

The Nature Granola bar is just over a half- ounce. I assume the cookies may be about the same? If not, so what? They're cookies... we expect them not to be health food and much less expensive.

When you come back out of the cookie jar, would you have one of these with me?



Double cookie with ice-cream!!! (for calcium, LOL)

 

[applecruncher]

I know lots of people eat cold cereals for breakfast, but imo those are crumbled cookies - and people add sugar. I can't remember eating cookies for breakfast although I may have. However, I have on occasion I've eaten a donut or piece or cake or pie in the morning.

 

[Butterfly]

Too much sugar for me -- if I eat anything with a lot of sugar in it for breakfast, I feel awful later on. I guess it's a sugar crash, but it just doesn't work for me. Plus, if I eat one sweet thing I want more, which is why I avoid processed sugar as much as possible (and also because I don't want my butt to look like the Goodyear blimp).

My husband does, the Costco variety pack you get from the bakery. Only one. Don’t know why, maybe it’s something easy to grab. He doesn’t eat them any other time during the day.

 

[hearlady]

Enjoy your cookie Lon.
Sounds like you had a good breakfast experience and isn't that what counts?

 

[SeaBreeze]

I eat one of these with my morning coffee, buy them at Costco but other stores sell them too. Healthier than the average cookies, rolled oats, apricots, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, honey, quinoa, chia seeds, etc....but you have to get the floss out after you eat one. :brush:

 

[Happyflowerlady]

We eat mostly low-carb, so cookies are not on the allowable list of foods, but neither are the health food bars for the most part. Sometimes, I have a protein bar or part of an Atkins bar, both of which are low-carb.
Since we do enjoy a treat sometimes, I started making either cookies or muffins that are made with lots of fiber and protein. I use either a cake or cookie mix to start, and add almond meal and protein powder for extra protein, and then some flax meal and psyllium for the fiber part, plus the flax has omega 3 and protein as well.
I know that it has regular flour and sugar in the mix; but with all of the extra additions, we get less of that per cookie/muffin than we would if we ate a regular cookie or muffin.
I am going to put the recipe into my carb manager app and then I can see exactly how much sugar and carbs are in each one, plus what the nutrients are.
Your Aussie Bites look absolutely delicious, SeaBreeze ! The information that I can read from the picture looks like they would be pretty healthy as well; so I will have to check them out. We don’t go to Costco; but we do shop at Sam’s Club, and they often carry about the same selection of foods and merchandise.

Bacon, eggs over easy, hash brown potatoes, toast for yoke dunking. Orange juice and coffee. Ahhh those were the day. Now maybe corn flakes and coffee, maybe nothing. I hate being old.
