In this YouTube short, the creator shares her habit of occasionally serving homemade, nutrient‑dense cookies—such as almond‑flour honey‑butter chocolate chip and chickpea‑cashew‑butter maple‑sweetened varieties—as breakfast for her children. She stresses the importance of examining ingredient quality rather than labeling foods as "good" or "bad" or restricting them based on timing. By comparing these cookies to typical sugary cereals and Pop‑Tarts, she argues that a mindful, ingredient‑focused approach can make treats a healthier option. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their own unconventional breakfast choices for kids, fostering community discussion.

Chapters

Some days I give my children cookies for breakfast. All right, the almond flour honey butter chocolate chip cookies I made the night before, or maybe those chickpea cashew butter sweetened with maple syrup cookies that we often rotate in the mix. You guys, it's important to consider the ingredients in anything that you make, especially cookies. But if they're nutrient-dense like mine, it's almost always better than that sugary cereal or the Pop-Tarts. But more importantly, I try not to label foods as good or bad or limit certain foods based on when they're eaten. Instead, I focus on only buying nutrient-dense food and enjoying treats when we're out. So every now and then I would let my kids have the healthy cookies I made for breakfast. Who cares? Because in our house, I prefer to be mindful of the ingredients in my children's food rather than putting too much meaning on when and how the food is eaten. So here's to cookies for breakfast. What are some of the out-of-ordinary foods you feed your kids for breakfast? I want to hear from you.
