WHOLE GRAIN BREAKFAST COOKIES

My sister and I love something sweet with our coffee in the morning. We created this recipe to make a wholesome breakfast. I generally double the batch and keep them in the freezer. They taste even better frozen (still soft!). Whole grains, fiber, and protein and no butter! Can it really be delicious? Yes! My kids can't keep their fingers out of the batter. I decided to add it to Allrecipes because everyone keeps asking me for the recipe. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup walnuts
1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup ground flax meal
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup almond butter
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup blue agave nectar
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup dried cherries
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Pulse the walnuts in a food processor several times to chop; continue processing until the walnuts are ground into flour; transfer to a bowl. Mix in the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, flax meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
  • Combine the almond butter, canola oil, agave nectar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in the food processor and process a few seconds to blend the ingredients well; transfer the almond butter mixture to a large bowl and fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chips. Mix the walnut-oatmeal mixture into the almond butter mixture (dough will be very thick).
  • Scoop up heaping teaspoons of dough, and form into balls; lay the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flatten the cookies with a spatula. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

Time 1h25m

Yield Makes about 28

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup buckwheat flour, such as Bob's Red Mill
1/2 cup millet, such as Bob's Red Mill
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup cashew butter
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup fresh raspberries
Plain yogurt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together oats, buckwheat flour, millet, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a saucepan, heat cashew butter, coconut oil, and brown sugar over medium-low, stirring, just until smooth and combined. Pour over oat mixture; stir until incorporated. Let cool slightly. Stir in eggs, then fold in raspberries (it's okay if they break apart slightly).
  • Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Using your hands or the bottom of a glass, flatten each mound slightly.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are light golden brown and set, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely. Serve, with yogurt alongside. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice for these cookies, as they provide a chewy texture and hold their shape well. Quick-cooking oats will make the cookies too soft, and steel-cut oats will be too hard.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help the cookies set quickly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These whole grain breakfast cookies are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and they are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. They are easy to make and can be stored for up to a week, making them a great option for busy families. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these cookies are sure to satisfy.
