why make this recipe

Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies are not just delicious; they are packed with healthy ingredients that give you energy to start your day. These cookies are a great choice for breakfast or a quick snack, and they can be made easily at home. The combination of oats, nuts, and fruits makes them both filling and nutritious. Plus, they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup, making them a tasty alternative to store-bought cookies.

how to make Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 cup oat flour (made from 1¼ cups whole rolled oats)
  • 1 cup additional whole rolled oats
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about ½ tablespoon)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup creamy natural almond butter
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup walnuts
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and warm water, then set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, rolled oats, almond flour, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix the almond butter, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup well. Then, stir in the thickened flaxseed mixture.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold in until just combined. Fold in the walnuts and blueberries.
  6. Scoop ¼ cup of the cookie batter onto the baking sheet for each cookie.
  7. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the edges are browned.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If removed too soon, the cookies may fall apart.
  9. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container or freeze them for later.

how to serve Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

These Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies are best served warm. You can enjoy them with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or coffee. They also taste great on their own or with a spread of your favorite nut butter.

how to store Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

To keep your Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to separate the cookies with parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.

tips to make Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

  • Make sure to let the flaxseed sit in water long enough to thicken. This acts as a binder for the cookies.
  • You can use different nuts or seeds if you don’t have walnuts on hand.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference.
  • For a fun twist, add some chocolate chips or dried fruits to the cookie batter.

variation

You can make these cookies gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats. Additionally, try adding different fruits like raisins or chopped apples for new flavors.

FAQs

1. Can I use something other than almond butter?
Yes, you can use peanut butter or any nut or seed butter you prefer.

2. Are these cookies suitable for vegan diets?
Yes, these cookies are vegan-friendly as they do not contain any animal products.

3. How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are ready when they are browned around the edges. They will firm up as they cool.
