Good morning! 
I am devoting my morning to WRITING since I haven’t done a damn thing on my book yet. I am making progress today!
Breakfast
I’ve read about Gina’s famous Breakfast Cookie all over the blogs for months now, so I finally decided to give it a whirl myself.
To be honest, as I was making my Breakfast Cookie last night, I kept thinking: how the heck is this going to taste good and fill me up? I had faith in the Fitnessista, so I followed her directions and put my Breakfast Cookie in the fridge overnight to do its thing.
This morning, I was pleasantly surprised with my Breakfast Cookie! 
I spread some Barney Butter on top and dug right in. It was SO delicious. It tasted just like regular oatmeal, but much more hearty. I didn’t think the Breakfast Cookie would fill me up like my usual bowl of oats, but man, did it! My stomach is very content right now. 
As for my Breakfast Cookie ingredients, I used Barney Butter as the nut butter and I substituted the protein powder for Vega Whole Food Smoothie Infusion, which worked great.
I also drank some Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea with breakfast.

I make a breakfast cookie, too, but mine is baked. Very hearty! My latest was Ginger Apple Oat – perfect for the season!
Hmmmm…favorite recipe from the blogworld is so hard! I love so many of them. I guess I would have to say Kath’s Smoked Salmon and Parmesan Omelet Muffins! Yum!
Hmmmm I really can;t think of a favorite recipe. But unfortunaetly I wasn’t a fan of the bfast cookie. I just don’t think I like my oats cold.
can’t think of a recipe off the top of my head… couldn’t get into the breakfast cookie though… wish I liked it.
Given your love of cookies, I’m surprised this was your first breakfast cookie – now any day can be cookie day
Gena’s banana soft serve is a favorite of mine, as are kale chips and Kath’s vanilla sweet potato soup. Oh, and of course nut butter-topped oatmeal! I love getting inspiration from the food blogosphere!
my fave blog recipe is from Kath I think??.. its the overnight oats. I have it down to a science now and have it every moring (weekdays)— I didnt think i’d like cold oats either, but it works!!
I don’t have a particular recipes but I love learning about new things to try out. For example: almond milk, vitatops, pb2, tufu noodles, etc (from hungry-girl)
My favorite blogger recipe is Holl’s Vegan Pumpkin Molasses Cookies. I’ve made 3 or 4 batches
I’ve always been apprehensive to try the breakfast cookie too. But Maybe I should give it a try. I’m a fan of the green monster blog world creation
I recently wrote a similar post about my first breakfast cookie also inspired by Gina. Oh and I’m eating one right now. They are delish and much more filling than I’d ever expected. It’s a nice change from my regular hot oats. Big fan of this recipe!
I haven’t made a breakfast cookie in long while, I need to do that!
Definitely all of the ways I mix my oatmeal — I never would have come up with all of the mix-ins on my own!
omg i can’t believe it was your first time trying the cookie! i love it. but i also LOVE yogurt messes that i discovered on the blog world!
jenna
there are a couple of pancake recipes with yogurt and granola that floating around that just truly rock my socks!
Meghann’s (Graduate Meghann) savory carrot “cakes” are really good- almost like carrot latkes.
that looks good! i can try one now that i have protein powder!
my favorite recipe is probably banana oats. I never thought I liked oatmeal until I added banana and PB and now I eat it every weekday. Thanks blog world!!
I’m such a fan of the Fitnessista’s breakfast cookie! I lived on them this summer… I think I need to start making them again!
I have been meaning to try the bfast cookies out! But, I didn’t for the fact that I didn’t know if they would fill me up–but now I will have to give em a shot!!
Too many to list…he he!
Bee Happy!
I just tried oats in a jar last week for the first time.. I really want to try the green monsters I always see on blogs
whoo hoo! i’m so glad you liked it
i just munched one myself
have a wonderful day and thank you for the lovely shout out <3
xoxo
My breakfast cookie was a huge FAIL — I think I used too much liquid — I’ve been meaning to give it another try, though!
The sweet potate and kale soup from KERF is perhaps my favorite blog world recipe.
My favorite blog recipe is overnight oats! I’m addicted!! Two close runner-up recipes are banana ‘soft serve’ and green monsters. I love finding these truly delicious recipes, that are so healthy too!
Breakfast cookies always look so delicious, but what is the texture like? Could you actually pick it up or is it more soft and delicate?
My fav blog recipe isn’t really a recipe but it’s…oats in jar babay! Still have to try the bfast cookie.
Yeah that tea is wonderful – a co-worker gave some to me the other day!
I’m totally blown away by homemade nut butter. I never knew I’d be able to just use my food processor to make it.
Sounds good! I’m not sure what my favorite blog recipe is but I can tell you that my boyfriend LOVES your oatmeal raisin bars!!
I love the homemade black bean burger… it’s so easy, tasty, and filling!
I still haven’t tried the breakfast cookie but it looks SO good!
favorites = homemade pecan butter and kale salad
Love HEAB’s protein ice cream and the Oh She Glows Green Smoothie recipes!
My favorite blog recipes are all of the new and interesting things I can put in my oatmeal. I love trying new ingredients and the bloggers never let me down!
Pumpkin oats… would have never thought to try that before reading food blogs! So glad I did… life will never be the same!
I am loving these Oatmeal cookies with cinnamon roasted almonds, cocoa nibs, and dark chocolate:

My favorite is Roni’s Chicken Surprise over at GreenLiteBites. It’s comforting, quick to fix, delicious and good for me!
Banana soft serve… It’s a genius idea
I tried doing a breakfast cookie but it ended up being a sticky mess. Will have to try it again.
Green monsters and overnight oats have found their way into my routines.
I LOVE breakfast cookies!!
i just found the elusive sugar cookie tea at the grocery store after checking in different states! i bought 4 boxes and have been drinking it like its going out of style…
My favorite recipe has to be the standard banana oats. Ever since I discovered them my life has been forever changed!
green oats and spaguetti sqush are two of my fav things that I learned from the blog world!
I am a HUGE fan of Danica’s homemade healthy pumpkin butter! I can’t eat oatmeal without some mixed in anymore! Also, okra fries that I first saw on Kath’s blog yummmm:)
I didn’t really get into that breakfast cookie, but I’ll have to give it another shot one day, with a couple modifications.
I love green monsters! I definitely want to try this breakfast cookie though…
Whipped Banana Oatmeal and Green Monsters…oh and Kabocha
Look learning new recipes from the blog world. have yet to try the b-fast cookie!
Good luck with the writing!
I LOVE 101 cookbooks veggie burger recipe. It rocks.
green monsters and oats in a jar.
I fear the bfast cookie wouldn’t hold me over at all. I’ll probably never make it.
i love all the new foods i learn about and especially all the tofu recipes…i had no idea how to even begin cooking it before reading blogs!
Ugh I’m so jealous of your Barney Butter and the fact that you can get it everywhere… damn shipping costs and Chicago!!
