Breakfast Cookies
These easy breakfast cookies are packed with wholesome grains, dried fruit, and crunchy walnuts. Take them on the go and stay satisfied until lunch!
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup ultragrain all-purpose flour or use all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup oat bran
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup dried fruits (I used dried cherries and dried blueberries)
- ½ cup ground walnuts or very finely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, oat bran, flaxseed, baking soda, and cinnamon; whisk until well combined and set aside.
- Mix the sugar with the wet ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs, stirring until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir in the dried fruits. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until the mixture is moist and completely combined. Stir in the walnuts.
- Portion the cookies. Drop mounds of dough onto the baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake. Bake, one pan at a time, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
- Finish and serve. Remove the breakfast cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Notes
- The cookies are quite large, about the size of 2 regular chocolate chip cookies. If you'd prefer smaller cookies, you may need to reduce the baking time.
