Cookies for breakfast, count me in! A giant-sized, gluten-free Cherry Almond Protein Breakfast Cookie is just what I need to fuel my active morning. Also the beauty of this easy protein cookie recipe is that it is a single-serving and can be made in the toaster oven!

So, raise your hand if you want a cookie for breakfast but think you shouldn’t?!  Well, my single-serve Giant Cherry Almond Protein Breakfast Cookie will make you think you’re really splurging first thing out of bed, but actually its super healthy and balanced with 25 grams protein (including protein from a plant-based protein powder) for sustained energy and muscle-making and 25 clean carbs to help power your body and brain for the morning’s tasks, workouts or whatever you do! In about 15 minutes from start to finish, you’ll be enjoying a super-sized, under-300-calorie cookie with your morning coffee – and that’s my cup of tea!  It’s also gluten-free, if that is a concern. 

I like to use the Clean Lean Protein from Nuzest . . . It tastes great, works well in baking and is suitable for vegan, gluten-free and Paleo diets. Use my Nuzest Discount Code to save 15% –FITFORK

Did I mention this was a toaster oven cookie? Just mix up your dough quickly in the morning (or the night before and wrap in plastic) and then press out, decorate with almonds and dried cherries and bake in the toaster oven! So convenient and so wholesome and so pretty!
