HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST COOKIES:
They’re soft, chewy and sort of remind me of a healthier blueberry muffin in cookie form.
- You’re going to line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
- Whisk together the egg, almond butter and coconut oil until creamy and smooth. Add the maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Beat until combined.
- Stir in the flour, followed by the coconut and oats and mix until everything is just combined. Fold in dried blueberries, almonds and any other add-ins of your choice.
- Use a 1/4 cup to scoop out the dough and drop onto the parchment paper. Pat the tops down to flatten slightly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly brown and set.
- Allow to cool on the cookie sheets completely. Cookies can be frozen in a large resealable bag up to 3 months.
ARE GLUTEN FREE BREAKFAST COOKIES FREEZER-FRIENDLY?
Yes, the great thing about breakfast cookies is that you can make a big batch on your Sunday or Monday meal prep day and store them in your freezer for when you’re ready to enjoy.
Simply place the cookies on a large baking sheet and place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes – or until they’re firm.
Remove the tray and store in clear zip-top bags or an air-tight freezer-friendly container.
ARE BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST COOKIES HEALTHY?
These Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cookies would make a tasty addition to a healthy balanced diet for those crazy busy mornings.
They’re hearty, refined sugar free, packed with whole grains, healthy fats and protein, and would make a tasty make-ahead breakfast or lunch box treat.

THESE ARE DELICIOUS! I USED 1/2 AND 1/2 RICE FLOUR AND ALMOND FLOUR. I ALSO USED 1/4 TSP OF XANTHAN GUM. FOR FRUIT, I USED FROZEN BLUEBERRIES AND FROZEN PEACHES WHICH TASTED GREAT! I MADE SURE TO RINSE THEM IN WARM WATER AND LET THEM DRAIN BEFORE ADDING THEM TO THE BATTER. THESE ARE DEFINITELY A NEW STAPLE FOR ME!
