These easy Healthy Breakfast Cookies are perfect when you're too busy to cook but don't want to skip the most important meal of the day!

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.

🍲 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, fibre, antioxidants + more!

Flax seeds – Full of Omega-3’s, fibre, and can help reduce blood pressure, cancer risk & cholesterol.

Almond Butter – Antioxidants, healthy monounsaturated fats our bodies need, and you get the point, these ingredients are HEALTHY!

👩‍🍳 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.


🗒 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 to the chocolate chips/chunks

👝 How to Store Leftovers

The cookies will last up to 1 week in a tight-sealed container on the counter. They are also great when frozen. Freeze any leftovers and let them thaw on the counter when you’re ready to eat.

🤔 Common Questions

What makes these breakfast cookies healthy?

Use wholesome, healthy ingredients. Most cookie recipes have lots of sugar and butter, these cookies eliminate those unhealthy ingredients and replace them with healthy sweetener like maple syrup or honey.

How to know when cookies are done baking?

Stick a toothpick into the cookie and if batter comes out on the toothpick, they need a bit more time. A good rule of thumb is that if you notice the edges starting to go brown, they are done. Cookies will continue to bake when they’re sitting on a hot baking sheet out of the oven.

So good and actually healthy! The second time I made them I swapped the chocolate chips for raisins in attempt to be even healthier, but chocolate chips are best.

The girls don’t like these seeds so I used sunflower seeds instead and used a food processor to mix it all so they couldn’t notice them anyways! Added a tablespoon of coconut oil to the mix.

SO delish! Gives you the satisfaction of a yummy warm chocolate cookie AND some health!

So stoked this is the first recipe I’ve tried and it’s a huge hit! Will be trying more!

Maria Koutsogiannis
