Healthy Breakfast Cookies

Healthy breakfast cookies are a great way to begin your day.

They are jam packed with the goodness of bananas, peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, coconut flakes, ground flax, chia seeds and hemp hearts. A whole lot of hearty, healthy, deliciousness in one little cookie.

If you are like me, you crave a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. I will often make a yogurt and berries parfait, or grab a slice of Strawberry Banana Bread from the freezer. But when I want a snack that really satisfies my hungry tummy, I choose one of these yummy peanut butter breakfast cookies.

What mix-in’s could you add to these breakfast cookies?

  • An obvious addition is of course nuts! Pecans, almonds, walnuts – whatever you love.
  • Use coconut oil in place of the butter, or use half oil and half butter.
  • Raisins, or other dried fruit, would be a terrific addition.
  • And of course, it goes without saying – add chocolate chips if you want.

How should you store these Healthy Breakfast Cookies?

Cool the cookies on a rack, then store in an airtight container. You can keep them stored this way on your counter for a couple of days, just like any other regular cookie.

Any longer than a couple days and I would move them to the refrigerator or freezer. These cookies will stay in the fridge or about 4-5 days and in the freezer for about 3 months.
