These breakfast cookies are always a hit and make a great quick breakfast or snack on the go. They may look daunting, but they are so yummy and worth the effort.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ C almond meal or almond flour
- ⅓ C unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2-3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Dash of nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 TB chia seeds, soaked in ¼ C of water for 10 minutes (this will create a chia gel)
- ½ C pureed pumpkin (from a can is fine)
- ½ C almond butter
- 1 TB vanilla
- ¼ C honey or maple syrup
- 1 TB freshly grated ginger
- 1 carrot, grated
- ½ C walnuts, broken into small pieces
- ½ C dried currants, goji berries, cranberries (no sugar added) or raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine dry ingredients (minus the walnuts and the dried fruit) in a large bowl. Make a small well in the middle and add the wet ingredients.
- Using an electric mixer, mix until well combined, then add walnuts and dried fruit and mix gently until just combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon out 2-3 TB per cookie. Smoosh the cookies so they are flat – these won’t rise like other cookies do.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, let cool, then enjoy. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week.
Notes
Leftovers: Freeze in the freezer-safe bag or container for up to one month.
Make it Sweeter: Add in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut or mini dark chocolate chips.
