Low-Carb Flourless Chocolate and Oatmeal Cluster Cookies

Oatmeal is what I have almost everyday for breakfast. It provides my body energy and fiber, it's easy to prepare (instant ones), and it's so good when sweetened!

In attempt to divert from the usual oatmeal breakfast (in a bowl, with water and sweetener), I'll try making oatmeal cookies instead for breakfast. These cookies can even be made the day or night before, which saves more time in the morning. :) And of course they are good to eat at any time of the day too!
