What is a breakfast cookie?
Is there really a breakfast cookie you can eat for breakfast? Yes! When made with healthy ingredients a breakfast cookie can be not only be delicious but a healthy way to start your day. I use a combination of oats and whole wheat flour and just a touch of sweetness from honey. What makes these cookies different from a regular cookie is the fact that they have fiber from the oats and no refined sugar. The health benefits from these cookies makes them a great choice in the mornings and your kids will love that they get to eat cookies for breakfast!
What ingredients are in Healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies?
Let's take a look at what we'll need for our breakfast cookies:
- oats
- whole wheat flour
- flax seed
- baking powder
- spices
- coconut oil
- applesauce
- honey
- nut butter
- figs
- pistachios
There are so many oatmeal breakfast cookie recipe ideas! The possibilities for different add-ins are endless, so this is a recipe I really like to experiment with. I love the idea of adding figs and pistachios. The combination of cinnamon, ginger and cloves was very good with the figs, however you could use all cinnamon if that is what you have on hand. You can also substitute different nuts and different dried fruit if you are making these for picky eaters.
How to make healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies
Whipping up delicious breakfast cookies is so easy in the morning. No special mixers needed; just a bowl and a spatula!
Start by mixing your dry ingredients in one bowl then in a separate bowl add honey, coconut oil and almond butter. To make it easier to mix, microwave almond butter mixture for 20 seconds. Then add remaining wet ingredients and add ins.
For easy clean up, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to portion out cookies. They do not spread as much as regular cookies so two inches apart is plenty of space. Using a fork, gently press cookie balls to slightly flatten. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
Eat these healthy breakfast cookies straight from the oven with a cup of coffee or glass of milk! They are perfect for an afternoon snack too! Enjoy!
