Monday Monday!
Do you find it hard to get out of bed on a Monday? or is that just me? It’s not like I went to bed any later (I don’t think) or that I did anything over the weekend to wear me out, but this morning I just couldn’t open my eyes, couldn’t take that first step out from under my warm duvet, couldn’t even open my eyes enough to check my emails (on my phone while I’m waking up!) and then I wondered if it was a Monday thing! 😛 I’m sure most days (especially when it’s still dark outside and cold too) I get up with more ‘get up’! The rest of the week just follows really, but Monday! After a weekend of rest and relaxing, suddenly we’re asking our bodies to work all day, concentrate and do much more that it’s had to for a few days! Then… I remembered the cookies! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well, if there’s a thing to entice me to crawl out of bed it’s that breakfast is waiting! Yes… nothing wrong with ‘healthy’ cookies for breakfast! These are full of protein, vitamins particularly vitamin A (loads of vitamin A in these)! which is great for healthy eyes and vision as well as maintaining the immune system (mine’s already under attack so hopefully these will help)! and a whole host of other vitamins, antioxidants and minerals! Quick and easy to make these are lovely little bundles of goodness… disguised as cookies! 😛 🙂

Oh, yummy, what a delicious and healthy idea for cookies! If something like this doesn’t get you out of the bed, I don’t know what will 🙂
?Thanks Milica?Just packed the last two for my road trip!
I made the cookies last night and they are really delicious. They reminded my husband of granola bars and he asked me to make more for him to take to work so he has a healthy snack. And this is a guy who refuses to eat oatmeal. Thanks!!
Wow Tonia! You made them already and have a request for more! 🙂 Excellent! 🙂 Thank you! Hopefully you’ll find a few more things on my blog that you both like 🙂
I made them & loved making them too! I never prepared cookies with sweet potatoes before! This was a fun recipe to make too! x
Sophie… thank you! 🙂 I wondered where you’d gone! I hope you are well… and enjoying my recipes! 😛 🙂
