A cookie for breakfast? Sign me up!! If you want your morning oatmeal to feel like a treat, try making this breakfast cookie recipe! Mix up the night before and pop in the oven in the morning while your coffee brews. You won’t regret trying this – promise!

Ingredients
(makes about 4 cookies)
Dry ingredients

  • 1/2 c oats
  • 1 tbs chia seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 c nut milk (I used unsweetened vanilla @malkorganics here)
  • 2 tbs peanut butter (look for one without additives!)
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup

Topping, optional (but like… not optional)

  • Chocolate chips!!!

Directions

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  2. Mash the banana well, then combine with wet ingredients.Pro tip – put the PB in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to mix in!
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
  4. Place in the fridge in a sealed container overnight (or up to a week) to let the oats and chia seeds soak up the liquid. This is important so you get a thickkk breakfast cookie!
  5. Once the mixture has had adequate time to soak in the nut milk, use an ice cream or cookie scoop to make golfball sized scoops onto a baking sheet with parchment. Press a few chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
  6. Bake on 350 for about 15 minutes.
  7. Enjoy with coffee!

Snacking Dates

For when your sweet tooth is having a moment in the spotlight! Try out these delish, nutrish snacking dates! Medjool dates are full of fiber and are deliciously sweet. Paired with the healthy fat and protein in almond butter, they won’t spike your blood sugar and will serve as a satisfying snack. You can pretty much add any topping, but some of my favorite combos are listed below. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Pitted medjool dates 
  • Almond butter
  • Your favorite toppings- mine are cinnamon, coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips, and granola!

Directions

  1. Slice the date down the length of one side to open it up. Think about a sandwich roll and cut it like that!
  2. Stuff the date with a spoonful of almond butter (or sub your favorite nut butter)
  3. Sprinkle the date with one of your preferred toppings. If you’re feeling wild, add them all.
  4. Enjoy!
