HONEY-SWEETENED BREAKFAST COOKIES



Honey-Sweetened Breakfast Cookies image

When I'm looking for a breakfast treat with a healthy vibe I reach for these oatmeal breakfast cookies. They are light and cakey and packed with toasted almonds and bits of dark chocolate and dried fruit. The best part: They're made with ground oats and honey, so I can feel good about indulging in them.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour or whole-wheat flour (See Cook's Note)
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/8 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup honey (I like wildflower honey)
1/3 cup applesauce (I like unsweetened)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup toasted unsalted almonds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Combine 2 cups of the rolled oats, the almond flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a food processor. Process until the oats are ground, about 1 minute; a few larger bits of oats are okay. (Alternately you can grind 1 cup of the oats at a time in a blender.) Transfer to a medium bowl and add the remaining 1/2 cup of whole oats. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the honey until smooth and combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the applesauce, eggs and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed to combine. The mixture will look soupy-that's okay.
  • Add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients and blend on low to combine. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the raisins, cranberries, chocolate chips and almonds. Mix on low until well combined. The dough will be looser than normal cookie dough.
  • Portion the dough into 1/3-cup portions and place 6 portions on each sheet pan, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie and between the cookies and the edges of the pan. Flatten the dough portions to 1 inch in thickness. Bake one pan at a time (the second batch can sit at room temperature while the first bakes) until the cookie edges are golden brown and the centers feel set, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Cool the cookies on the parchment. Store in a covered container for up to 4 days, or freeze in freezer bags for up to 2 weeks.

CLEAN BREAKFAST COOKIES



Clean Breakfast Cookies image

In an effort to find clean, healthy treats, I fell upon a few recipes about a year ago that inspired me. So I started playing around with ingredients and tweaking it each time. I finally produced something that my kids and husband love. In fact, I make a batch at least two times a week. I call them breakfast cookies because they are healthy enough to eat in the morning! No sugar added, naturally sweetened with honey and chocolate chips to lure the kids. No preservatives or additives, just wholesome goodness!

Very easy to make. Lightly sweet, these cookies are high in protein and fiber, and tasty without any refined sugar, so you get a boost of energy to get you through the morning. My teenagers grab these for breakfast when they are rushing out the door. Makes a filling snack as well. You can substitute your favorite dried fruit and nuts in place of the raisins and walnuts. I have also added 1/2 cup chocolate chips on occasion.

HEALTHY BREAKFAST COOKIES AND BARS - FIBER, PROTEIN, AND FRUIT!



Healthy Breakfast Cookies and Bars - Fiber, Protein, and Fruit! image

This recipe makes great cookies and even better bars. In its original form, following the recipe, it has a nice mild balance of oatmeal and apple flavours. Three cookies is one full serving of whole grains, and a full serving of fruit. It keeps at least a week without getting dried out (and then my four year old inhaled the last bar). I'm planning to try it again with cut up dried apricots and toasted sesame seeds. Try it out! (Found it in the Toronto daily "24 Hours" paper, October 3, 2005)
