Enjoy Breakfast Cookies for a grab and go snack or breakfast during busy weekday mornings. Simple ingredients, naturally sweetened and everything combines in one bowl!
I love the idea of breakfast cookies. They are perfect for a meal on the go and you can easily change the ingredients to what you have on hand. Plus, just the name alone makes kids want to eat them. Everyone loves cookies! However, these are healthy and gluten free.
Loved theses breakfast cookies and the simplicity of the recipe. My only change is I added coconut to the tops before baking. Simply delicious!! Thank you.

All the ingredients easily combine in one bowl making cleanup a breeze! Naturally sweetened, freezer-friendly and the perfect portable breakfast on the go! I love to add my favorite Iced Coffee as I head at the door. These cookies are completely customizable and a family favorite!

Recipe Notes
Substitution Ideas
- Peanut Butter – Try using natural peanut butter or crunch peanut butter instead of the creamy in the recipe. You can even use nut butters instead of peanut butter.
- Dried Fruits – Cranberries and raisins both work great so just use what you have. Any type of dried fruits work great in this recipe too.
- Chopped Nuts – Chopped pecans and walnuts are a great addition and add extra crunch to the cookie.
- Chocolate Chips – If you are feeling decadent, add chocolate chips. Dark chocolate and white chocolate are delicious and some of our favorites.
- Other Additions – Flax seeds or chia seeds are a great healthy addition for additional fiber.
Recipe Tips
- Scooping Cookies – I highly recommend using a cookie scoop. You will thank me later because it saves so much time on spooning out each of the cookies.
- Storing – Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing – Place the room temperature cookies in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to serve.

I enjoyed making these but enjoyed eating them mote! Recipe can be altered with the add ins so easily.

These are amazing! Thank you
Our family LOVES this recipe! We keep a container stocked in the freezer at all times. It makes a great breakfast-on-the-go or a healthy, filling snack. It’s easy enough for my littlest kids to help. All four of our kids love to mix up the ingredients and try new combinations. Although, we almost always add chocolate chips…because chocolate makes everything better!
My kiddos and I loved these cookies!!! We are always looking for easy, healthy recipes and these are both!!! We will be making these again!!!
They look fabulous!!!
To tell you the truth, even I am not a health freak either. I do try though :)) Even have a “30 minute nutritious meal’ in my category…but the content is pretty dismal. I am working on it 🙂
The cookies look awesome!!
