For another super quick and easy breakfast, give my 2 Minute Omelette in a Mug a try! It’s truly saved my life on busy mornings!
Cookies for breakfast?
HECK YES!!!
Or at least that’s the way my mind works. If you tell me I can have dessert for breakfast and that it’s not loaded with sugar and is “healthy” for me then I’m totally down.
And that my friends, is exactly what these cookies are! Healthy! Refined sugar free, gluten free, egg free, and dairy free. So what’s left you ask? All DELICIOUSNESS! They are sweet, crunchy, and have a nice burst of blueberry cinnamon flavor to them. You’ll be shocked at how good they are. Because I know I was shocked at how good they were.
I kept taking nibbles while I was photographing them! hehe
Ok. True confessions.
Before now, I’ve never made a flaxseed egg. I saw a recipe using them and I was curious as to what it was, so I gave it a swing with these cookies. It’s basically a tablespoon of ground flaxseed that you stir in with water and let sit. It’s starts to thicken and you can use it as an egg replacement in recipes. Turns out, it totally helps bind the cookies together like a normal egg, but gives you way more fiber.
Um… definitely putting this in my baking repertoire moving forward.
Ok, back to the heart of the matter. These Blueberry Breakfast Cookies.
Pretty much you can’t go wrong with cookies in the morning… well I guess you could. You know what I mean. But not with these cookies.
They are a great on the go option that will fill you up in the morning and pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee. Which these days is a MUST because for whatever reason Texas has decided that it needs to have cold weather this winter instead of our normal 60/70 degree weather. I’m use to being able to grill right now. And right now, not so much! Baby it’s cold outside.
So if you’re in the market for a healthy fiber and protein filled breakfast or post workout snack this Blueberry Breakfast Cookie Recipe will be your jam!
Swap out the dried blueberries for fresh or another fruit of your choosing. Just CHOOSE to make these cookies. You’ll be one happy camper when they come out of the oven. Guaranteed!
Bon Appetit friends and happy weekending! PS how are we almost in February. Gasp!

How should they be stored?
In an air tight container on the counter.
any recommendations on freezing these?
hmm.. I haven’t done it before. But maybe bake them and once they are cooled you could place them on a baking sheet so they freeze in the form you want then put them in a ziplock bag until you’re ready to use. YOu’ll probably need 2-3 hours for them to thaw out once you’re ready to eat them
Oh these cookies look absolutely incredible! I would low-key just eat the batter before I bake the actual cookies. Looks like the perfect way to start off any day!
I have to make these for my boys! Make mornings a breeze!
YES! Plus they’ll love having cookies!
This breakfast cookie is perfect. My kids love them. Thanks for sharing the recipe. We love it.

Krista,
I made these this morning with my daughter and they are so good!! I used regular eggs instead of flax eggs and raisins instead of blueberries (because I didn’t have any) and the cookies were delicious. Definitely bookmarking this recipe to make again, they’re perfect for breakfast or anytime.
