Breakfast Cookies

Comfy Belly: Breakfast Cookies

I’m about to give you a great excuse to eat cookies for breakfast. Or any other time of day or night. Pack a cookie with enough protein and vitamins and you have yourself a respectable breakfast treat. Yes, breakfast cookies!

Comfy Belly: Breakfast Cookies

Several months ago, a friend asked me to deconstruct a “breakfast cookie” for another friend. She had eaten this “breakfast cookie” somewhere, and it was so good that she wanted to figure out how to make it herself. It seemed to have an endless list of ingredients, including 5 kinds of nuts and seeds, oats, and other stuff that I can’t quite remember off the top of my head.

Of course I recognized a brilliant idea when I heard it. I’ve had this recipe idea waiting in the wings. So here’s my current interpretation of a breakfast cookie.

You can add just about anything you like to the cookies, in moderation, so as not to make it too weird to eat. My favorite version has roasted walnut pieces, dried cranberries (juice-sweetened), dried cherries, and mini-chocolate chips – about 1/2 cup of each ingredient.

The cookies in the picture have dried cranberries, freeze-dried raspberries and blueberries, walnuts, and a few chocolate chips.

    Erica, I recently found your site and was ecstatic. I have Crohn’s and am trying to eat for my blood type. I just made these cookies. I used walnuts, chocolate chips, dried cranberries and lycii berries. They were definitely soft, so I left them in my counter top convection oven on the “Warm” setting for an hour and they did crisp up a bit. YUM. Thanks so much for your site !

    Hello! I made these today and they are outrageously delicious! I just used a tad of maple syrup and added coconut, peanuts, chia seeds, hemp seeds and all that you have in the recipe. DH is nuts about them! They won’t last long. I have had your Coconut Flour
    cookbook for some time but just found your blog yesterday. Your new CB will be at my door tomorrow:) Thank you so much for such a great number of healthy recipes. You are much appreciated!!

    I have made these numerous times. For nuts use chopped pecans, dried unsweetened coconut, and ‘Dark Amber’ organic maple syrup. They are a great treat, breakfast snack and on the go food. They freeze well with waxed paper in tightly sealed container. Thank you so much

    Hi! I’m excited to try these! I just purchased almond flour (made from blanched almonds, from Whole Foods, King Arthur Flour Brand)….it’s sooo expensive! $14 a lb! I also get almond meal from Trader Joe’s, which is waaay cheaper…BUT seems to bake up very differently. If I used half of each in this recipe (allowing my precious blanched almond flour to last longer lol), would it still turn out well? If not, I’d rather bite the bullet and just make it as written using all almond flour.

    I have been gluten free x 15 years. I also haven’t really had a good cookie for that period of time because I couldn’t find anything that was healthy yet low carb. I made these this morning and OH MY GOODNESS!! YUM YUM YUM I do however think one could get fat on these because they have 1/2 c butter and maple. I think next time I will try applesauce in place of butter and stevia in place of maple…but then I might be back to “ehhh…not as good as these” Thank you so much for posting this!

    My daughter has made there cookies twice and they are absolutely wonderful. We cannot find cranberries sweetened with Apple juice in Norway, so I bought some unsweetened dried ones. They are very sour! Do You know a way to sweeten them?

    • Erica

      November 3, 2013 at 5:57 pm

      hmmm. You can order the sweetened dried online (Amazon; see my shop for an idea of the brands). I bet you could soak them in warm apple juice for an hour or so and then bake them at a low temperature or dehydrate them again. Also, chop them up into small pieces when soaking so they absorb more apple juice. Or try raisins?

    Hi! Thank you for this recipe!!! I saw the comment where the lady said she used a flax egg successfully so I went ahead a made these. I changed up the recipe a bit. I used some coconut flour instead of the whole 2.5 cups almond flour so I used your original amount of honey in order to increase the liquids a bit and used a flax egg since we have an egg allergy in our home. This came out beautifully the first time!!! I will definitely be adding this to our regular rotation of snacks! I think they’ll work great for on the go, too! That excites me as the kids are ALWAYS hungry when we’re in the middle of a store 😉

    I just made these and they taste really good. The only problems I encountered were in them holding together enough to slice into cookies and also when removing from the baking sheet. Next time I may reduce the seeds/nuts/berries just slightly. Good news is that the kids seem to like them! I used cranberries, slivered almonds, chia seeds, cacao nibs, dark choc., and rolled oats.

This morning I only used raisins, then crumbled the baked cookie in a bowl and added coconut milk. Instant cereal and the kids loved it!

    I made these today and instead of 2.5 c. of almond flour I used 1.5 c.millet flour and then 1 c almond flour, 1/2tsp.salt and 1/2tsp baking soda. I did use salted butter (what I had). I would stick with the 1/4 tsp. salt next time. They are very yummy 🙂

      Oh, yes, if you use salted butter, definitely reduce the salt in the recipe. I’m not sure by how much though. In any case, I’m very interested in millet flour myself, so thank you for trying this. So good to know.

    My family thanks you for the recipe; I make these once per week, but as a different variation each time. I now have worked it into scones, a “butter” cookie version, and a more classic drop cookie. Oh, and did I mention that I use no sweetener (aside from dried fruit) and no dairy? My family’s current favorite version uses 1/2 coconut oil and 1/2 earth balance (vegan) for the oil. Favorite blend ins in our house include dried pomegranate seeds and unsweetened coconut flakes, as well as whatever dried fruit and random nuts we have in our snack bins. No matter what I throw in or what I do to the basic recipe, it seems to work. Love it!

    DELICIOUS! My 11 year old daughter said that these cookies (and the almond crackers) are way better than the real thing! We made them with half butter/half coconut oil, sunflower seeds, pecans, dried apricots, and raisins. I also added just a touch of pumpkin pie spice. They reminded me so much of an old family recipe for mincemeat cookies which were fruity and cake-y. I might just adapt this recipe using mincemeat for Christmas. Thank you for a great recipe.

    Mmmmm! Made these this morning and my kids and husband went gaga over them! I used about 1/8 cup molasses and the rest honey and mixed in dried cranberries, pecans, sunflower seeds and a tiny bit of chopped dark chocolate. My kids totally thought they were getting away with something really big by having “cookies” for breakfast.

    These firm up wonderfully after they’ve cooled. I kept checking them while baking and they felt so soft so, I ended up over cooked mine a bit. Next time, I’ll go by time and not how they feel.

    Thanks for an awesome recipe!

    Should the recipe read when using coconut oil in place of butter 1/2 cup or is it really 1/4 cup?

    I agree! Healthy cookies should be for breakfast! I wish I could reach right in the screen and eat one off the plate! What camera do you use?

    I love the idea of cookies for breakfast and these sound great. It doesn’t hurt that there’s chocolate in them too! 🙂
