I like to call these Pecan Chocolate Cookies. Btw you can substitute them with whatever nuts you please.

Breakfast Cookies: Taste & Texture

  • Hearty, soft and chewy
  • Filled with a ton of texture in every bite
  • Scented with Cinnamon and Vanilla Flavors
  • Oozing with melty chocolate Chunks

Cookies Ingredients:

Ingredients to make healthy breakfast cookie recipe like honey, almond butter, banana, chocolate chips, oats and pecans.

Nut Butter: I like to use almond butter to make these cookies. You can more or less use any nut or seed butter you have on hand. Peanut butter is my close second preference.

Oats: Any kind of oats can be used to make today's recipe. Old fashioned or quick Oats. If want to make these cookies gluten free, use certified GF oats.

Banana: Make sure your banana is ripen. If not a fan of banana, any other fruit butter or even apple sauce can be substituted.

Nuts: Pecans, walnuts or peanuts all taste good in them. Try adding cranberries or raisins too, yum!

Thick and hearty Breakfast Cookies made with oats, honey, nut butter and banana.

Chocolate Chips: Entirely optional. To keep these healthy you can even opt for dark chocolate chips like I did!

Apple Butter: Cookies taste best with apple butter, but if not available, apple sauce will work too

Sweetener: Any natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup will do here. I went for Maple syrup this time!

    I made this recipe because I wanted something good to snack on after my workout. They are perfect. Just enough to give me that added energy and prevent me from going overboard on bad munchies. I'll be keeping these cookies on hand not only for me but for the grandsons, as well.

    One bowl and less than 30 minutes? Perfect! My husband was just saying he'd like to eat oatmeal more often for breakfast (which is kinda tricky since he usually eats during his long drive to the office). These breakfast cookies are like portable oatmeal! Problem solved - thank you so much! 🙂
