I baked up a batch of oat and hemp breakfast cookies for the freezer – to have a healthy “treat” on hand for breakfast and snacking as well. As I don’t have qualms using raw honey, we bake with it often. However, pure maple syrup may be used instead. The cookies are allergy friendly, gluten-free and are hearty for an on-go meal.
