So, oatmeal cookies decided to glow up. They’ve ditched the raisins, got themselves some chocolate chips, and now? They’re filled with coffee cream. Yes, girl—stuffed. These are not your grandma’s “heart-healthy” oat biscuits. These are rich, chewy, and caffeinated like your group chat on a Monday morning. They deliver that sweet energy without making you question your life choices. Vegan? Absolutely. Boring? Never. These cookies bring fiber and drama in equal measure. Basically, it’s breakfast in dessert cosplay—because who said self-care can’t taste like espresso, sugar, and a warm hug wrapped in oats?
