Giant Sweet-Tart Cherry Collagen Protein Breakfast Cookie | Toaster Oven & Air Fryer

I was awake in bed the other night plotting, as I usually do, about what to eat in the morning. I needed a fast breakfast to fuel me up for early carpooling and errands and then a trip to the gym and I was in a “sweet” crunchy mood.  Plus, I only needed enough breakfast for me, my family has mismatched schedules and all do their own thing for morning meals. Giant Sweet Tart Cherry Protein Cookie

I remembered the can of my favorite workout drink (Collagen Endurance Plus from Great Lakes Wellness) on the kitchen counter. Viola, the concept for my Giant Sweet-Tart Cherry Protein Breakfast Cookie was born. I jumped up and prepped a dough ball for the next morning using almond flour, coconut flour and Collagen Endurance Plus. When I work up, just flattened that dough for the collagen cookie into a circle and popped into my toaster oven for 10 minutes! While it was baking, I whipped up an easy sweet-tart cherry glaze using the CEP and a bit of MCT oil . . . and a chia, flax and hemp seed blend (Organic Triple Omega Seed Blend) sprinkled on top for extra goodness.
