A Wholesome Little Bite That Grew on Me

Baked oatmeal cookies with raisins cooling on a plate

I love having a little something with my morning tea, and lately I’ve been trying to choose options that feel both healthy and comforting. So I decided to try making something myself, and this wholesome recipe felt like the perfect place to start.

It consists of simple ingredients, no flour, no butter, just a cozy mix of oats, sweetness, and breakfast-friendly goodness. When I pulled the first batch out of the oven, I wasn’t quite sure how I felt. The texture was soft and chewy, but the flavor definitely wasn’t like a traditional cookie. I took a few bites and thought, Hmm… maybe these just aren’t for me.

But the next morning, everything changed, I gave it another try and suddenly the flavors felt different—simple, wholesome, comforting. It reminded me more of a soft oatmeal bite than a dessert cookie, and honestly, that’s exactly what I needed that morning.

These are low in calories, filling, and great as a quick grab-and-go breakfast. They’re not overly sweet, but they feel nourishing—almost like a little morning hug.

For anyone curious, I used this recipe .
I followed the base version but love that you can easily customize them with chocolate chips, nuts, or different spices. I’m already thinking I might make a second batch with a few tweaks.

A simple, nourishing way to start the day. 🌿

I recorded a cozy little TikTok while making these, too. If you enjoy behind-the-scenes kitchen moments, you might like watching it.
