Heyyyyy 
Hope your Monday is treating you well!
I thought I’d start the morning off with a how-to video on the little breakfast beauty I came up with a couple of years ago. Since my eating style has changed over the years, this new breakfast cookie includes my current modifications, but please alter it to suit your nutritional preferences and needs.
Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
-1/3 C oat groats ground into flour (or 1/3 C old fashioned oats)
-1/2 scoop protein powder (I prefer Sun Warrior but back in the dairy days, it was all about the Designer Whey)
-cinnamon, pinch of sea salt
-1/8 C – 1/4 C milk of choice (I roll with almond)
- 1 T nut butter of choice (raw almond butter is the fave here)
-1/2 smashed banana
-mix-ins!!! Mesquite, cinnamon, cacao, maca, goji berries, pumpkin, dried fruit, whatever you’re feeling
Have you tried a breakfast cookie? What’s your favorite combo???
It’s WORKOUT TIME (wahoo!!!) then tax time over here *shudders* See ya this afternoon!
xoxo,
Gina

This was great! Thank you. I cracked up at “Seksi Pilot Media.”
A couple of suggestions, on a nerdy tech note:
You have the OpenSky intro video posted on your breakfast cookie page where you want this video (I think!) to be instead.
Also, you might consider filming your next video without background music. It’s nice and all but it sort of interferes with your voice, in my opinion. Dubbing it over afterwards as a soundtrack is another story.
You have such a wonderful presence and energy. I’m looking 4ward to the next Fitnessista production!
thanks melissa!
i changed my link snafu- thank you for letting me know
all of your tips were extremely helpful <3
You are most welcome!
Ugh, the husband is doing our taxes halfway round the world right now thankfully!
Love the vid, love breakfast cookies. In fact, my elder and I ate two for breakfast today (my wee is sick).
My spiralizer just came yesterday and I’m so excited to use it after seeing so many bloggers recommend them.
hope you’re feeling better and the workout is great!
Great video. You have a knack for TV!
Quickie question: I have some brown rice flour in the pantry…will that work for my first b’fast cookie attempt? Or should I wait until I get to the store to get some oat groats? Thanks!
ehhh i don’t think it would taste as good. definitely try it with some kind of oats for the first time
I loved the video! I’ve made breakfast cookies a few times, but I definitely picked up tips from your how-to video
Thanks for the video! I’ve made breakfast cookies before but definitely picked up a few new pointers, like adding milk before the banana!
Using organic pureed pumpkin instead of banana makes for an awesome pumpkin pie breakfast cookie. Some pumpkin pie spice and extra cinnamon makes it extra delish!
What a wonderful cinematographer you have
you live in Georgia? Im going to be in Ga. from 4-23 til 4-25 Id love to take one of your Zumba classes!!
yup, i live in georgia. sadly, i teach on the air force base here though- not to the public :/
YAY!!!!
Thanks for the video
Seksi Pilot Media!! Love it! haha. Great video!
lolol seksi pilot media
i make these all the time but i don’t think i’ve been adding enough almond milk now that i see how they’re made (mine always end up kinda weird textured haha). thanks for the video!
what do you think the nutritionals are for that cookie?
the one i made was 360 without the chia goodness about 400 with it
love the video- it was very informative. thanks! and the credits had me laughing.
Thanks for the video! It helps to see how the bfast cookie goddess makes hers.
But my ADD kicked in w/the background music (distracted). I always think about having a cookie in the morning – too late then…I’m gonna go make one now!
YAY!
Loved watching your video, beautiful lady. And though I have yet to make a brekkie cookie, rest assured that it is on the agenda!!! xoxo
I’ve made them several times! My favorite mix-ins are a little orange extract (or fresh orange juice), dried sweet cranberries, and almonds. Amazing, and very fresh tasting!
Great video! I tried making a bfast cookie a couple weeks back and the consistency didn’t seem right. Do you always ground your oats? Maybe that’s the difference. I hadn’t thought of that. What are your thoughts??
nope, you can use regular rolled oats but i liked the smoother texture
I love the video! And the credits are fabulous! I love breakfast cookies. My favorite mix ins are vegan choc chips and dried cranberries.
Hi Gina,
I tried making a breakfast cookie the past 2 days and both days it was still mush in the morning and I had to eat it with a fork. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for all your tips!
you always have to eat it with a utensil– sorry i should have added it in there! it gets a little firmer, but still slightly mushy
I see – I thought you picked it up and ate it like an actual cookie! It was still delicious, more like breakfast cookie dough!
Thanks!
hahah yes, more like dough than an actual baked cookie
Hey, I totally dig this video! I always see the lil breakfast cookie around this blog (and some other blogs as well), and I’ve been dying to try it.
Is it possible to do this without the protein powder? I think I can round up the other ingredients and be able to use them in other things, but I feel like I would neglect the protein powder. >___<;
yeah definitely. i just like the protein for the nutritional reasons
Thanks for posting this video! I am totally going to try and make one now!
i made a breakfast cookie for today following your recipe almost exactly and it turned out awesome! i can tell this is going to become a new breakfast staple for me
thanks for the video!
i’m so glad you liked it! <3 xoxo
HI Gina!
I just discovered your site and I really like it! I want to make this breakfast cookie, and I just had a question about the protein powder. Which flavor do you use? Vanilla, chocolate, unflavored? Also, which is your favorite for making protein shakes? I’m just curious because I currently use Nutribiotic vegan rice protein (chocolate), and I love it, but I’ve never heard of Sun Warrior before and I’m anxious to try it!
Thanks so much!
Desi
i prefer vanilla because if you want to do chocolate, you can add cacao powder
if you like nutribiotic, you will LOVE sun warrior. it’s far less chalky and tastes amazing
Hi Fitnessista. I LOVE your blog. How do I cook the breakfast cookie? The video won’t play on my computer for some reason. Thanks.
there’s a tutorial post on the page, too
hi i just made the breakfast cookie so i can eat it tomarrow. are you suppose to eat half of it or the whole thing im a healthy freak just wanted to ask
the whole thing
hey sorry to ask another question. i run in the morning is it ok to eat this after you run or before?
either! you can have it before, or have half a banana before and eat the cookie after
That is the coolest recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
I am studying to be a nursing assistant and I start my clinical in a nursing home tomorrow. I have to be awake very early and I just made this for my breakfast. (now I can wake up later and eat breakfast while I’m driving!!! I love my sleep a little too much!)
