I've eaten Erin Baker's Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast cookies as well as the Double Chocolate variety. For meal replacement, I prefer the Oatmeal Raisin -they aren't so sweet and treat-like that I'm tempted to eat more than one (which has happened with the chocolate ones -and at around 300 calories each, that's not a good idea for somebody who'd like to drop a few pounds.) I stopped buying the Chocolate ones because they were just too tempting. The Oatmeal Raisin ones do a good job of getting me through the morning (or afternoon) without feeling hungry. I put them straight into the freezer when they arrive -I either let them thaw naturally (for lunch at work) or toast them (with the toaster oven on medium darkness.) They are great toasted, giving off the scent of a fresh-baked oatmeal cookie and toasting adds a slight crunch to the outside of the cookie. Cooking them in a microwave works ok (30 seconds in an 800 watt oven), but I haven't nuked one since finding out how great they are toasted!This is a tasty, filling and quick breakfast choice. It is a hearty choice that kept me from being hungry until lunch. Leave it partially in the package while eating it, though, because is can crumble.These cookies are very good. The bad thing is I want to eat more than one! Very soft and great tasting. And for less than $1 per cookie, its a great deal.Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookies are not just for breakfast. You can have one anytime and they are so big you will enjoy eating them for a long time. We ordered the Oatmeal Raisin cookies and they were so moist and delicious. I wondered where they were going to so fast and discovered that my husband was taking them to work with him. So they must be very good because he is not a dessert person at all!These do have a subtle taste to them, but they still taste fine (especially with some hot tea or coffee), and the healthy ingredients are ultimately a trade off I am comfortable with. With respect to serving size, one of these is a full breakfast even when I am really hungry. If you are looking the overly sweet or powerful taste you get from those granola / breakfast candy bars you typically see covering all of the grocery store shelves these are not for you. If you looking for a breakfast on the run that's healthy and filling I would highly recommend them. I am on my second month of them with no regrets.
