Cookies for breakfast? Is that really a thing? Yes, it most certainly is! To be clear, they haven’t been a thing for long around here. I came up with this recipe to fill a need. It’s all about helping my son get a “healthy-ish” breakfast that he can grab as he’s headed out the door.

Hunter is in the middle of his second semester of college. He’s a music major which requires quite a bit of extra work. He’s not only taking regular classes but he’s got music theory, practice sessions, and rehearsals. He’s working so hard. Of course, with his busy schedule, I worry that he’s not eating right. So, instead of fretting about it, I put my energy into figuring out a way to help my boy get something yummy and healthy into his day. Thus…Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies were born!

These cookies are so good you won’t believe you’re eating something healthy. They are soft on the inside with just the right amount of crispiness around the edge. I love to make a batch and pack them into little wax paper bags sealed with washi tape. That way, Hunter can grab a bag of cookies, his coffee mug and head out the door.

Can you Make-Ahead And Freeze?

Absolutely. You can make the dough ahead of time, scoop it out then freeze and bake later. These cookies can also be frozen after they’re baked. Just let them thaw and they’re ready to eat. I also like to pop them into the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy with my afternoon cup of coffee.

Add-Ins and Substitutions

If you’re not a fan of any of the ingredients listed in the recipe, no problem. This cookie recipe is very flexible so you can leave out what you don’t like and add in what you do.

Try these change-ups:

  • change out the chia seeds for flax seeds.
  • add raisins or dried currants.
  • add chopped pecans or walnuts, sunflower seeds or peanuts.
