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 oats or quick-cooking oats can be used in this recipe. If using quick-cooking oats, reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center when they are done baking.

Conclusion:

These whole grain breakfast cookies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. These cookies are also freezer-friendly, so you can make a batch ahead of time and enjoy them all week long.
