I can’t believe I haven’t shared this recipe with you sooner! It has been a family favorite and my “go to” easy cookie because I usually have all of the ingredients in stock. They travel well, fill the belly up, have a delicious flavor and are healthy enough to eat for breakfast! Now that is a win win!!
I have just recently changed this recipe up a tad by using cinnamon essential oil instead of the traditional ground powder! If you have read some of my other recipes recently, like my Ginger Spice Muffins, Champagne Dressing, Orange Cream Smoothie, Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Bites, Peppermint Fudge, Creamy Cinnamon Frosting or My World’s Most Healing Soup you will see that I have brought my culinary skills up to a new level of yum by adding essential oils!
Cinnamon has some amazing health benefits but one of the more recent headlines talks about how it can help balance blood sugar! It has been long known for it’s antibacterial and antifungal properties which are great for immune support! In China this is one of the most ancient of spices and was prescribed for many different uses.
Historically, the French used it for a sexual stimulant, infections, typhoid and vaginitis. I guess in France they do a lot of french kissing so there’s no surprise what they used it for from beginning to end of their romance encounters {blushing over here}.
Cinnamon has become one of my new favorite oils to add to water and I have rinsed my mouth out with it periodically and noticed the sensitive spot, thanks to brushing to hard, on my gum line is gone {thank God because it really made me cringe}. I hope you enjoy this simple recipe and besides, who wouldn’t say yes to cookies for breakfast?!
