Soft Nutritious Breakfast Cookies

Soft Nutritious Breakfast Cookies | Mama Papa Bubba

Mmmm… cookies.  And for breakfast no less!

These nutritious breakfast cookies have been on regular rotation in our house lately.  I’ve been making a big batch on the weekend and pulling them out for easy breakfasts, snacks, and school lunches which has been such a treat.  Both of the kids absolutely love them and gobble them up 3 at a time, which is absolutely fine by me!  They’re jam-packed with good stuff – whole grains, fruit, veggies, and protein – and include absolutely no added sugar, which means I actually feel good about feeding my munchkins cookies – win!

Sugar-Free / Dairy-Free / Flour-Free Breakfast Cookies

9 / 29 / 1210 / 1 / 12

This morning Miss G and I decided to try making something new for breakfast…  Cookies!  Not the traditional kind, of course.  Healthy, hearty ones that fill you up and start your day off right.  And I’m glad to say that despite my nonchalant ‘Ah, sure we’ll throw that in too’ attitude, they turned out pretty well.

IMG 0051Here’s our line up of ingredients… Old-fashioned oats, pumpkin seeds, raisins, ‘just apples’ applesauce (we just used the store bought stuff this time around, but homemade would of course be better), ripe bananas, cinnamon, and organic coconut oil and vanilla (which somehow didn’t make it into the photo…)

IMG 0053To start, my mini sous chef peeled our bananas and popped them into the food processor.

IMG 0054Then she added a capful of pure vanilla…

IMG 0056A generous amount of applesauce…

IMG 0058Some cinnamon…

IMG 0059And a dollop of coconut oil.

IMG 0060Then we blended everything up until it was mostly smooth, with just a few little chunks.

IMG 0064With our wet mixture transferred into a large mixing bowl, Grae added some organic old-fashioned oats…

IMG 0066Some raw pumpkin seeds…

IMG 0067And some raisins…

IMG 0071And gave everything a good stir.

IMG 0072The result was oats that were completely coated in the banana/applesauce mixture, but not ‘wet’ or batter-y (if that makes any sense).

IMG 0073We then dropped large spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, using the back of the spoon to shape them into little mounds, and popped them into the oven.

IMG 0076Fifteen minutes later, out came these soft, moist little oatmeal mounds.  Now… Do they taste like a real cookie?  No.  Do they taste like a healthy bowl of cinnamon oatmeal compacted into a portable little serving? Yes!  And the best part is that they’re not at all crumbly. To the point where I let Grae snack on these while in the Ergo on our recent house hunting adventures because I knew they wouldn’t crumble all over our potential landlords’ floors… Win!

Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Flour-free Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Cookies

(recipe loosely based on this one from irocksowhat)

  • 3 small ripe bananas
  • 3/4 cup of ‘just apples’ applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon of organic coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 capful of pure vanilla
  • 2 cups of organic old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup of raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/3 cup of organic raisins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add the wet ingredients (plus cinnamon) to a food processor (or good blender) and mix well. Pour the contents into a large mixing bowl and add dry ingredients.  Mix until everything is evenly coated.  

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, using the back of a spoon to form them into mounds.  Bake for 15 minutes and allow a couple of minutes to cool.  Store in an airtight container on the counter for a few days, or pop them in the freezer and defrost as needed.

Enjoy!
