Is the breakfast cookie supposed to harden or stay soft and just eat it with a spoon?
it stays soft and you just eat it with a spoon. to make it a little firmer, toss it into the freezer for about 10 min before you plan to eat it
I love that this is so easy and so raw! PERFECT!!!! I am going to make one tonight for my Monday morning treat! That will make waking up Monday morning a whole lot better!
awesome- let me know if you like it!
Can these be made ahead of time? Like a week’s worth of breakfast cookies made on Sunday and then ready to go each morning?
i’d say maybe 2-3 days at a time… try making 3 on sunday night and 2 on wed night??
Hi there!!!!!!
I love your website! I am a health freak as well and I love to experiment with food to make my eating life more exciting! I love love love your breakfast cookie and I was wondering if you have any tips for substituting with the protein powder (it hurts my tummy)…. anyhow! love to hear from you!
i’m so glad you like it!
try 1 T of cocoa powder instead for the texture
Love it!
i just found your website yesterday, stumbled upon this recipe and decided to try it for breakfast this morning – i absolutely loved it! i will definitely be making it regularly. thanks so much for the killer post! i can’t wait to see what other things you have in store (:
thats so awesome! welcome to the little bloggy

Hey Gina!
Thanks for posting this!
Just wanted to say that we at FIT CHICKS (a Canadian company making a fun environment for chicks of all sizes to work out in — and be healthy!) love the cookie!
Thought I’d let you know that we included it in our blog to share the cookie love.

Wow, I just tried one this morning with my husband and we both loved it! I made his with banana & pumpkin and mine with just pumpkin and it was awesome. Last night I kept thinking it wouldn’t be filling (eyes bigger than stomach syndrome), but this morning I actually could not finish it and will be saving some for a snack later.
wahoo!!! so glad you liked it and thanks for letting me know! <3
Thanks for the cookie recipe. I had my first breakfast cookie this morning and it was delicious. My 3YO daughter enjoyed it as well so I’m going to have to start making 1 for her so she doesn’t eat all of mine.
I made these last night and my boyfriend gobbled it up this morning – then sent me a thank you e-mail at work!! I just made tomorrow’s batch, and the best part is licking the bowl before I go to sleep
I made them with chocolate protein powder – it tastes just like my mom’s no-bake cookies from my childhood – amazing recipe, thank you so much!
And this helps me get more organized b/c I don’t have to spend time making hot oats in the AM!
YES! i’m so glad he liked them.. you’re totally right, licking the bowl is the best part
I just found your blog and Im so happy I did! I always look forward to my oatmeal in the morning but today I was down right excited! this cookie dough creation is amazing. I mixed my oats with chocolate protein powder, cinnomin, PB, and cottage cheese and topped it with some crushed almonds it tastes amzing and I can’t wait to try new flavors!
I’ve made this once, and at the time I had no protein powder. I was wet mushy like in the morning…is it supposed to be this way? or is it b/c I missed the protein powder? I’d love to see a up close video of the finished product!! =)
I tried to make this once and it was wet/ mushy like…granted I didn’t have protein powder//so maybe thats why? What’s the texture supposed to be like? I’d love to see a video of the finised product!!!!
Hi There!
I have just started following your blog in the past few weeks and love it! It is full of energy and spunk
I myself love fitness and health, and find some of your recipes interesting and easy enough to make! I am curious about your breakfast cookie, do you know approx. how many calories are in each?
Thanks!
Stephanie
hey stephanie!
welcome to the little blog
they have around 400 cals, give or take and depending on which mix-ins you use
xoxo
I found this recipe recently and love it! My mix-ins are usually coconut, dark chocolate pieces, chopped almonds, flax, honey and coconut oil. This combination holds together really well. I use a piece of parchment paper to form into a bar and cut it in half. In the morning I have 2 great breakfast bars that can be eaten on the go instead of with a spoon.
