These Superfood Breakfast Cookies are the perfect way to start your day!
How has your week been so far? We finally had a cold day yesterday, at least cold for us, and it was glorious! It rained most of the morning but cleared up in the afternoon and we went out for a little hike. I got to wear a sweatshirt outside and Eli even wore little mittens 🙂
One of my most popular posts last year was my Healthy Make Ahead Breakfast Cookies – 6 Ways, so I know that you all enjoy breakfast cookies! I wanted to come up with a fun flavor for the new year and Superfood Breakfast Cookies sounded perfect.
Superfoods are basically foods that are known to contain really high amounts of much needed vitamins and minerals. If you google Superfoods you can find lots of different lists and none of them seem to be exactly the same. Common superfoods are blueberries, kale and seaweed.
For these cookies I decided to use cinnamon, pistachios, dark chocolate, chia seeds and dried cranberries (you could also use Goji berries if you can find them). The flavors all go together really nicely and add tons of nutrients to the breakfast cookies!
These breakfast cookies are really easy to make, you only need one bowl, and are so great for a filling make ahead breakfast. Make a batch today and enjoy them for breakfast and snacks all week long!

Can you provide the amount of carbs and sugar? Thanks!
I don’t currently have that information but am working on getting it for all of my recipes.
Lovely filling and tasty treats, only problem is my boys eat them all before I get chance to save them for breakfast!
Thanks for a quick, easy tasty recipe
Haha, so glad they enjoyed them! 🙂
How many carbs?
Hi Gloria, I don’t currently have that information for this recipe but am working on getting it soon 🙂
Can I replace the coconut sugar with maple syrup?
There’s already maple syrup in them so you could try omitting the coconut sugar and adding more maple syrup. It might change the consistency a little but it would probably work 🙂
My son is allergic to nuts. Should I increase the fruit quantities to replace the nuts? Or can you suggest another replacement? Possibly sunflower seeds?
Yes, you can most certainly add extra fruit or sunflower seeds! Either option would work great 🙂
Can you provide nutritional information on these cookies
Hi Teresa, I’ll try to get it up soon 🙂
