The BEST Breakfast Cookies
Rise and shine! I’ll be honest - mornings can be chaotic and most days I’m rushing out the door without much time to think let alone time to have breakfast. I think most moms will agree that breakfast isn’t always the easiest meal to have. Between preparing kids lunches and making it on time for school drop off, it might as well be considered a luxury to have a bite before leaving the house. The good news is that it doesn’t always have to be this way!
I’ve found ways to streamline morning madness, but it does take some preparation. Prepping lunches for the kids and getting their clothes out and ready to go the night before helps tremendously. I’ve also searched high and low for decent ‘grab and go’ options that I love and ones that don’t make a mess if I have to eat on the run!
My top 3 easy on-the-move breakfasts include:
Hard boiled eggs
Overnight oats or smoothies
Breakfast cookies
The first two are pretty basic and they’ve been done a million times over, which is why for this SO YUMMY MOMMY recipe, Sabrina and I decided that a Breakfast Cookie would be a treat that everyone would love!
Side note: Sabrina told me about this recipe ages ago and it’s now a staple in our household; I’m sorry it has taken me this long to share this recipe that I believe will be on rotation in your home too! PS - I’m not the only one who loves them - both Harper and Now are fans too!!
Here’s the recipe;
Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies
1 ¼ cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cups oat flour
2 tbsp coconut sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
¼ cup + 1 tsp non-dairy milk (I like almond)
2 tbsp of maple syrup
1 egg
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp of flax seed
½ cup of chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup grated carrot
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir.
Add all remaining ingredients and mix again until everything is combined.
Use a ¼ cup to scoop the batter and roll into balls.
Place onto the parchment paper.
Pat the tops down a little and bake cookies for 15 minutes, until firm and cooked through. Let cool on a wire rack before eating. Enjoy them now or pack them away for mornings when you need a nutritious fix on the go!
