Breakfast Cookies (Healthy!) Recipe
These Breakfast Cookies are like a bowl of do-it-yourself granola in cookie kind! They’re wholesome oatmeal cookies that style like your favorite oatmeal raisin cookies – however they’re refined sugar free, gluten free, and can maintain you full for ages.
Copycat of the favored Muesli Cookies bought in cafes throughout Australia, these are a terrific make forward breakfast. Fill a jar with to seize ‘n run!
Breakfast Cookies
The one 2 components in these Wholesome Oatmeal Cookies that I don’t put in do-it-yourself granola are almond meal and egg. So I’m not exaggerating after I say these are like a bowl of granola in cookie kind!
These are a copycat of muesli breakfast cookies I’ve been eyeing at my native espresso store for years, desirous to make a model that was truly acceptable to have for breakfast. I’ve tried a number of instances and so they’ve at all times been meh – the primary downside being too dry and arduous to swallow.
Lastly, the penny dropped after I was smushing soaked dates for Sticky Date Pudding. MASHED DATES!!!! Completely unappetising and sludge-like because it seems to be, this is the secret to sweetness, moisture, color and terrific texture for wholesome sugar-free cookies!!!
Customisable!
These Wholesome Oatmeal Cookies are nice for customising. It’s truly a really forgiving recipe – due to the mashed dates that makes a strong batter base. These are the components you possibly can customise:
-
Flavourings: I’ve used cinnamon and vanilla. Strive: orange blossom, almond essence, all spice, cloves – no matter takes your fancy!
-
Add Ins: I’ve used coconut, almonds and raisins. Use any mixture of coconut, nuts and dried fruit that you really want… or CHOC CHIPS!!!
-
Candy: I exploit maple syrup or honey. Agave or another liquid type of sweetness ought to work high quality right here. Sweetness will also be managed – from a variety of 1 to 4 tablespoons;
-
Oil: Within the spirit of preserving this wholesome, I exploit coconut oil (more often than not). Any oil shall be high quality right here – or melted butter or margarine;
-
Almond Meal: Could be substituted with hazelnut meal / flour. I exploit these two interchangeably. Don’t sub with regular flour – it makes the cookies dry and cardboardy.
A HEALTHY BREAKFAST THAT KEEPS YOU FULLER FOR LONGER! One cookie is like having a kind of fast oatmeal sachets topped with dried fruit. Rolled oats have a low GI in order that they maintain your fuller for longer, the nuts present protein and the dried fruit gives fibre and pure sweetness. No added sugar, pure gluten free and simply 376 energy.

Go large or go residence!
I’ve made these breakfast cookies hefty as an alternative of wimpy little cookies as a result of they’re meant to be a breakfast. I made the error of getting two of them after I took these photographs and I used to be full for hours. So full for thus lengthy, I didn’t actually have a full dinner that evening.
Self management is a trait I like from afar. – Johnsat x
PS I don’t suggest making them regular cookie dimension/thickness. They’re soft-chewy and lack the crispy edges you discover in basic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, I wasn’t thrilled with the feel. Finest chunky and “meaty” – acceptable for breakfast!

Notes
1. Sweetness: Can use anything sweet in liquid form eg agave, golden syrup. 3 tbsp makes these cookies a bit sweet but not like normal cookies. Use 4 tbsp if you have a sweet tooth or reduce to 1 tbsp if you don’t have a sweet tooth (still get sweet from the dried fruits)
2. Oil: Can use any oil, use a flavourless or neutral one. Or melted butter or margarine.
3. Add Ins: Use 1 1/4 cups in total of your choice of flaked or chopped nuts, desiccated coconut and chopped dried fruit (or small fruit like raisins, cranberries, blueberries) – or CHOC CHIPS!! If you skip the coconut, use at least 1/4 of fairly finely chopped nuts (to ensure cookie holds together properly).
4. Almond meal: aka Almond Flour. Can also use hazelnut meal/flour. Do not sub with normal flour – makes cookie cardboardy.
5. Flavourings: Use whatever you like. For spice: all spice, nutmeg, cardamom, mixed spice. Essence: orange blossom, lemon, caramel, coconut, almond.
6. GLUTEN FREE option – ensure the oats are gluten free.
7. STORAGE: good for 5 days in a super airtight container, though the outside of the cookies do soften, like any homemade cookie. Haven’t tried freezing yet – would love to know if anyone does!
8. Nutrition per cookie (6 big chunky cookies):
