Are you having a picky eater? Making your child eat a healthy food has been a straggle? I have a great solution for you. How about healthy cookies? These cookies are fun BUT they are also super healthy! They are filled with lots of good stuff. Perfect combination for fun and nutritious breakfast that will make your toddler ask for more! Give it a try and let me know what you think and most importantly what your toddler thinks of them.
Also, they are free from eggs, diary, gluten and you can make them peanut free as well. In the below recipe I use walnuts but feel free to remove them and keep everything else unchanged.
