Description

These Breakfast Cookies are the perfect hybrid of a cookie and a breakfast bar, packed with oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, and a touch of honey. Nutritious and delicious, they’re a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or mid-morning snack that will fuel your day.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey (or maple syrup), peanut butter (or almond butter), eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk to loosen it up.
  5. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down to flatten them slightly.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Customize add-ins: Feel free to add dried fruit, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate chips.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies and easier portioning.
  • Don’t overbake: Cookies will firm up as they cool.
