Gluten-Free Almond Butter Breakfast Cookies, made with creamy almond butter and old-fashioned oats, a delicious way to start any day. From the oven to your mouth in 20 minutes.
Cookies for breakfast? Definitely, when they are this delicious.
Hello Made For Pinterest readers, it’s Celeste again from The Whole Serving, here with a delicious breakfast cookie for you.
I love cookies, and I love them even more when they give me the energy boost I need before or after a morning run or when I get the late afternoon munchies. When I make cookies it’s usually chocolate chip, sugar or any other really sweet cookie. I decided to give breakfast cookies a try after seeing a commercial for some on TV.
I’m always trying to get my 20 year-old to eat breakfast, but she says it makes her stomach upset when she eats before 10 in the morning. I don’t know why. But mid morning she needs the energy. She likes cookies, so I decided to make these for her so after her first class she would have the energy pick-me-up she needed to make it until she eats lunch, which happens to be around 1:30 in the afternoon, after her classes.
It’s a versatile recipe, I used almonds and almond butter because my daughter has a peanut allergy. Feel free to use whatever nut butter is your favorite.
When baking them you can make them flat or keep them round.
If you are like my daughter and can’t stomach a big breakfast in the morning, give these Almond Butter Breakfast Cookies a try. I like to have mine with fresh fruit with yogurt and coffee.
