My husband isn't a huge breakfast eater and I believe that breakfast gets your brain going in the morning. So I wanted something he could just grab a few of on the way out the door in the morning. We didn't have any chocolate chips, nuts, or protein powder on hand and these were still delicious! And please ignore the fact that I left them in a little too long!
