Nuts and Fruits Breakfast Cookies – Breakfast cookies packed with fruits, nuts, oats, and everything else healthy. A delicious breakfast on-the-go!
Making cookies for breakfast has truly revolutionized my mornings. I mean, they’re cookies. For breakfast!
Hi Hi! How goes it, friends? Can we talk about kitchen-envy? I have it, and I’m all green about it!
I recently had a couple of friends over for brunch and, amongst other things, I served these uber healthy breakfast cookies with a side of homemade Cinnamon Dolce Lattes. (If you’re thinking, “she knows how to brunch”, well, you’re absolutely right.)
So, as we were enjoying our cookies, one of my friends was taking down the recipe and said she was going to make the cookies as soon as possible in her new Frigidaire Professional Back-Control Gas Range.
Just two days later, she called me to tell me that, a) the cookies turned out to be awesome, and b) that I need a new oven range.
Me: “WHY? Mine is only 18 months old.”
She: “Well, in MY oven, these cookies were done in under 10 minutes! I burnt the first batch because I followed your directions”
Me: “Say what?!”
Next thing you know, I’m in her kitchen admiring all of her new Frigidaire Professional® appliances, and making a Christmas Wish List (in May) called, My Dream Kitchen, where I can bake these delicious cookies, and it goes a little something like this:
Frigidaire Professional Back-Control Gas Range. YEP!
Frigidaire Professional Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator? Oh gosh, YES!
A Farmhouse Sink?!? Dreams are coming true!!
I also want a new faucet head that stretches into the next room, just like my parent’s 1980’s phone cord.
One more thing? I want wall-mounted shelves in my kitchen! I love that rustic, farmhouse look. However, if stainless steel doesn’t fit with the whole rustic-farmhouse theme, then let it be. I have to have these commercial style, Smudge-Proof™ stainless steel kitchen appliances. Have.To.
I’m not asking for much. It’s not like I’m asking for a brand new kitchen. Just some new appliances, which, in looking at Frigidaire’s new Professional® line, can definitely happen.
The new line of Frigidaire Professional® appliances was designed to fit in standard-sized kitchens, such as mine, to eliminate the time and costs of a complete kitchen remodel. With something as simple as a change of wall colors or a new backsplash and a modern French Door refrigerator, your kitchen can go from meh to awesome in just one weekend!
Do you want a new kitchen? Who doesn’t, eh?
If you’re like me, dealing with kitchen envy and such, I suggest you click over to Lowe’s and use their Virtual Room Designer app (I was on it for hours, even tried pink walls…) to get an idea of a new kitchen redesign with Frigidaire’s Professional® Collection of appliances. Don’t forget to look around for a new faucet, shelves, lighting, and a Farmhouse SINK! It’s all there!

Speaking of a new oven, how about breakfasting with cookies? You up for it? According to my friend and her new Frigidaire Back-Control Gas Range, they’re done in a hot minute! Fingers crossed, I will soon find out!
And, I know I say this all the time so you’re allowed to roll your eyes, but I LOVE these cookies!
ENJOY!

Delicious! I can definitely get on board with the whole “cookies for breakfast” idea.
You are speaking my language with cookies for breakfast, love!
Cookies for breakfast AND a dream kitchen!?!?! Love it all!
Yes, I really really want a new kitchen! I love your dream kitchen, it looks so clean and bright! And cookies for breakfast? I am in!
My kids will love these cookies so much. I will try the best. Now I can change my menu breakfast regularly for my family, esp. for my kids. Thank you 🙂
I love cookies for breakfast 🙂 Since flax works as a binder, is it really necessary to use both flax and eggs? Wondering if I can increase the flax and add water to replace the eggs. These look great!
Hi Katherine!! Thanks so much! I tried working it out several ways; more flax, more water, etc… but they still turned out way too dry. Like, cardboard dry. So, IN went the egg. 😀
You said breakfast cookies and I said heck yes!
Cookies for breakfast! You are talking my language!
LOVE cookies and fruit together – it always make me think I’m eating healthy 😀 These look delicious!
