The No-Guilt Holiday Cookie You Really Need, Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie Recipe

If you are asking yourself, “Should I have an Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie for breakfast?” The answer is a resounding yes!

WHAT IS A BREAKFAST COOKIE?

These breakfast cookies are loaded with heart-healthy ingredients like oats, almonds, and California prunes while containing less refined sugar than cookies that are intended for dessert.

OUR OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES ARE LOADED WITH THE GOOD STUFF! LET'S GO OVER THE INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE A BATCH FOR YOURSELF!

04 BAKING POWDER & SODA

05 FLOUR

06 EGGS

07 MIXED NUTS

WHAT MIXED NUTS TO USE

We are partial to almonds and pecans here, but pistachios, pine nuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts are all also delcious choices!

WHAT MIXED FRUIT PIECES TO USE

Here we love prunes, dates, cranberries, dried apple, apricots. Any type of dried fruit you like will work for these cookies. You could even use all one type of dried fruit if that is your perogative.

WHAT MIXED SEEDS TO USE

We seem to always have sunflower seeds on hand so I went for those in this batch of cookies – however you could use flax seeds if you like or replace the 1/4 cup seeds with more nuts instead.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE THESE COOKIES?

How to freeze oatmeal breakfast cookies for later.

To freeze, let the baked cookies cool completely. Place them in an airtight container or plastic bag and freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving, or microwave for a few seconds for a nice warm cookie!
