These are the perfect treat for when you’re sweet tooth kicks in! The best part about these is that they are healthy and oh-so delicious!!
Everything you’ll need to make these delicious Breakfast cookies
- Almond Flour: be sure to pack your almond flour when making these! Almond flour will provide a rich moisture to these cookies so I do not recommend subbing this for any other flour. It is also a low glycemic index food and even has fewer sugars and carbohydrates when compared to whole wheat flour.
- Rolled Oats: this fiber-rich grain is lower on the glycemic index and helps it taste like an oatmeal cookie
- Baking Staples: don’t forget the baking soda and salt. These are gonna help our cookies to cook properly.
- Chia Seeds: I really enjoy adding chia seeds to anything I can because they are full of health benefits! Just to name a few, they help reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, support digestive health and reduce inflammation!
- Sweeteners: instead of using processed sugar, these cookies are naturally sweetened with honey and a ripe banana.
- Butter: believe it or not butter is actually a healthy fat! Butter is high in fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, E, and K. Vitamin K is an essential nutrient for helping the body absorb calcium!
- Chocolate Chips: provide that melty pull-apart cookie goodness when they’re right out of the oven!
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut: coconut adds so much depth and flavor to these cookies! It’s also really good for you in that it is high in vitamins and minerals!
