The words “healthy” and “cookies” don’t usually go hand-in-hand. However, cookies and breakfast are a bit of a nontraditional pair as well. But let me tell you, these Healthy Breakfast Cookies are the perfect breakfast when you’re on the go. They’re easy to make, delicious, and loaded with healthy ingredients to kick-start your day on the right foot. 

❤️ Why You’ll Love Healthy Breakfast Cookies

• Easy: These Healthy Breakfast Cookies only take 20 minutes total from start to finish.
• Gluten-free: To satisfy all the dietary needs in your household, these cookies are gluten-free.
• So Good: I gave these to four people today, and each person said: “Wow, these would be perfect for breakfast, they’re so healthy!”.

🍲 Ingredients

Almond Flour – For this recipe, I teamed up (sponsored) with my friends at Bob’s Red Mill. As you know, I love their products and they always have such a good selection of all the ingredients I could possibly need at Whole Foods. For these Healthy Breakfast Cookies, I used Bob’s Almond Flour. Using almond flour versus regular flour is not only healthier, but it also makes these breakfast cookies gluten-free. Bob’s makes their almond flour with ground whole, organic almonds (skin intact). By keeping the skin intact, they are leaving all those wonderful antioxidants intact as well. 

Chia seeds – These bad boys are high in quality protein, fiber, antioxidants + more! They add a delightful crunch while providing omega-3 fatty acids and help create a satisfying texture that keeps you full longer.

Flax seeds – Full of Omega-3’s, fiber, and can help reduce blood pressure, cancer risk & cholesterol. These tiny powerhouse seeds add a subtle nutty flavor while boosting the nutritional profile of your breakfast cookies with essential fatty acids and lignans.

Almond Butter – Antioxidants, healthy monounsaturated fats our bodies need, and you get the point, these ingredients are HEALTHY! The almond butter provides richness and helps bind the cookies together while adding protein and heart-healthy fats that keep you satisfied all morning long.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Healthy Breakfast Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment, lightly grease them with coconut oil spray.
2. In a medium-sized bowl combine all your ingredients and mix well using a wooden spoon.
3. Using a small ice screen scoop measure out the batter and roll into balls, then flatten to create a cookie-like shape.
4. Place a maximum of 12 cookies per tray and bake for 18 minutes or until they are tooth-pick test approved.
5. Eat immediately or cooled. Both ways are fabulous.

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• Consistency Check: The dough should hold together when pressed, but not be too wet or dry.
• Even Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
• Don’t Overbake: Remove when edges are set but centers still look slightly soft.
• Texture: Let them cool completely for the best texture – they firm up as they cool.

🗒 Substitutions

• Oats: Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe entirely gluten-free.
• Almond Flour: You can use other flours as you wish, just make sure that you look at if it’s a 1:1 substitution because not all flours are equal.
• Fruit: Add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries to these cookies, if you wish. They can also be a great replacement for the chocolate chips/chunks.
