Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

I was highly considering making some "traditional" dessert-like oatmeal cookies with blueberries and chocolate chips, but then decided to make them a little healthier so they could be deemed oatmeal breakfast cookies.

With Dustin as my sous chef, late one night we whipped these up together in under half an hour just throwing ingredients together and only dirtying one bowl. Well worth it for a quick, easy, and sweet breakfast treat.
