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
xoxo
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.
Hi There!
I discovered your blog a few weeks ago and love reading it daily! I’ve tried the breakfast cookie a few times and absolutely love it! It’s my go to breakfast when I want to eat oats. I even eat it as a part of dinner sometimes lol
i’m so glad you like it! i could eat it any time of the day too
For the cookie dough cereal, do you just make the bfast cookie in the morning and use more milk? Or still make it at night and just add milk to it in the morning?
i make it in the morning and just add more milk
This looks awesome!! Sounds similar to what I had for breakfast, although a warmed version. I love adding protein powder to my breakfast cereals. Really fun website…keep it up, sister!
I made a BC last night and took it out this morning to enjoy…thinking it wouldn’t fill me up, I made some egg whites with it. Well let me tell you….I couldn’t even finish it all! This is SO GOOD! Thank you for the recipe
so awesome! they are super filling
glad you liked it!
xoxo
Just come across your blog and I’m addicted already. I’m a veggie who’s always up for new ideas and am intrigued by your recipes. The breakfast cookie looks amazing but, never having used/had protein powder before, what would you recommend?
HI, I’ve just come across your blog. I’m a vegetarian and always on the look out for new recipes so am inspired by your blog. The breakfast cookie looks yummy but i’ve never used protein powder before. Can you offer any recomendations on good brands?
Hi! I am new to blogging and reading your blog! Love what I’ve read so far! I had the breakfast cookie this morning! Pretty good, cept I’m going to do something other than bananas for my mix. I was wondering if the recipe is on sparkpeople? Thanks! Happy New Year!
Good recipes here. Bookmarked.
I made a bfast cookie for my husband (he’s military too, but I don’t think calling him boats is as much fun as calling him the pilot
and he texted me to let me know it was delish, held him through the morning workout and he’s not even the slightest bit hungry. We have a winner!! Thanks for the recipe and I love love your blog!
Hi! I have two questions. (But before I ask, I wanted to say that I appreciate your blog a lot!)
1) Is the recipe for the breakfast cookie one serving?
2) Can I substitute quinoa flakes for the oat flakes?
Thanks
yes and yes
Wow, just made the breakfast cookie for tomorrow morning. I had a tiny taste, and that is WONDERFUL!
Can’t wait till tomorrow morning. Thanks for the easy recipe.
yay, enjoy!
These are great! It’s my new obsession! Just curious if you’ve added flax seeds to your breakfast cookie before? If so, do you grind them up first?
yep and yep! so glad you like them
I finally got around to making this! I added linseed and chia seeds in mine- I couldnt even wait till breakfast I had to test it out! YUMMMMMMMM…..
I’m stoked to try this one out! Thanks for sharing.
Love your blog!
I finally gave in and made one. I was always scared because when I can taste/feel the texture of the protein, it creeps me out! haha. Reading the recipe, I was sure the protein powder taste would over power … I was wrong. The breakfast cookie is amazing!! Thanks for posting this recipe … you’ve introduced me to my new favorite power breakfast
whoo hoo! i just had one for bfast too
Gina, I just had one of these this morning, and I just have to share the mix ins with you- I used about 1/4 cup of pumpkin, Justin’s Maple Almond Butter, lots of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice- it was the perfect fall breakfast!! Thanks again for all your awesome (and delicious!) recipes
Awesome recipie, even the man loved it! Thanks so much!
I am eating one of the delicious treats right now! I have been switching up the mix-ins all week, and shredded coconut is especially great.
Gina, this blog is so inspirational. I found it a few months ago and have been religiously reading everyday. You are the bomb!
I made one of these last night and I’m eating it right now. I can’t believe how good it tastes. I used berry powder and dried fruit thinking it might not go so well with the nut butter, but it surprisingly does. I’m so glad you shared. I think this is going to become a part of my normal routine.
awesome! glad you loved it
I LOVE your blog!!! I was introduces by fitsugar.com and have been hooked ever since. I’ve been a fishaterian for a year and a half and my fiancé is a meat eater!! Once I finish preparing his meals I’m lost as to what to eat so I normally front load on whatever sides I’d prepared for him. I’m gaining weight as a result!! Carbs, carbs and more carbs!!!
I go to the gym faithful with no results. Hoping to get into really good shape so I can prepare my body for babies. With the recipes you offer and the workouts. I no longer feel like a helpless cause!!!
I’d love to make this cookie since we’re snowed in and am waiting for My Sun Warrior to arrive. Have you ever used Vega protein to make it? I was thinking the shake & go. Thoughts?
PS. I have my whole office hooked on TJ’s almond butter w/flaxseed. That’s a little bit of heaven!
hey girl! thanks so much for reading my blog
i have tried it with the vega, but it doesn’t taste quite as good as it does w the sun warrior.
hope you love it when you try it!
xoxo
mmmm breakfast cookie looks so yummy, I don’t know if I would be able to leave it at night and leave it in the fridge overnight, I would probably eat it right there!
