7 Healthy Desserts You Can Also Eat for Breakfast

Sometimes there’s a clear dividing line between breakfast and dessert — omelet versus chocolate fudge cake, for instance. Other times, it’s all a delicious blur. These recipes for chewy breakfast cookies, chocolate-studded granola bars, fruity crumb squares, cinnamon-swirled coffee cakes, and everyone’s favorite works-anytime-treat, muffins, taste fine no matter when you enjoy them.

Unlike typical baked goods, they’ve got a stand-up nutritional profile, too. Light on sugar and heavy on things like whole grains, any of these can make a great grab-and-go option, whether you need a quick morning meal or a less-indulgent way to satisfy a sweet tooth.

It’s also nice to know that if you’re going to go to the trouble of breaking out your baking supplies, each recipe makes a sizable batch, which can be frozen for the future — that is, if you don’t gobble them all up right away.
