These superfood breakfast cookies are not your typical cookies. Packed with nutrient rich ingredients like goji berries and chia seeds, these cookies are not only delicious, they’re also good for you!
Welcome to 2018 everyone! The past year flew by so fast. What was your 2017 highlight?
It was not a perfect year for us but 2017 was definitely a good one. So let’s start the new year on a high note with a fantastic recipe and a video. Check it out!
Superfood ingredients
These superfood breakfast cookies are definitely not your usual cookies. First, cookies for breakfast. Second, look at some of the superfood ingredients in here:
I’m not a health nut (have you seen my blog?) so I’ve had to Google the nutritional benefits of these ingredients and I was impressed! And they taste great too.

Fully customizable recipe
Another great thing about this recipe (the cookie that keeps on giving, eh?) is it’s fully customizable, similar to my maple pecan granola recipe.
Don’t like almonds? You can use pecans
.
Can’t find goji berries? You can use dried cranberries
.
I used agave syrup
because that’s what we had on hand but you can certainly use honey
, maple syrup or these other substitutes for maple syrup. 
The whole idea is to craft the perfect breakfast cookie for you. Just follow the ratios and you should be fine.
Watch the how-to video
And it’s really simple to make – no mixer, no food processor, just a bowl and a baking sheet. See how it’s done by watching the video.
See how easy that was? And these cookies keep really well too.
Just make a batch, store in an airtight container and you’d have a week’s supply of grab-and-go breakfast cookies that’s delicious and good for you.
Hope you enjoy these superfood breakfast cookies!
Happy baking!

Notes
- You can substitute any of these ingredients with your favourite things, or whatever is available. For example, if you don’t have goji berries or almonds, you can use dried cranberries or pecans.
- You want to make sure to stir thoroughly so that everything is evenly and completely moist.
- You can use a cookie scoop or a spoon and just roll the cookies using your hands. Just make sure to pack them into a tight ball.

What a hearty looking cookie. I would love to make these and indulge on health. I don’t have a few of the ingredients but this would be a recipe I’d like to try.
Jolina

Dalene
Yummy! These cookies look too sweet for sure, and the recipe is a good one too since it’s an easy one. I never knew that pumkin seeds can be part of the ingredients of any recipe before since I save them for planting once I’ve removed them from the pumpkin…haha! Good challenge noted…
Dustin
This seems interested. I hope it tastes as good as it is good for you! Goji berries and great and a superfruit! Great way to start the day.
Nikki
These look so good and I’m all about eating healthy this January. I will be giving them a try!
Bianca
This is energy packed cookies! How come I never ever thought of making my homemade granola bras/cookies? I always buy from the supermarket. This will surely help me save heaps and I will definitely know what’s in it.
Jolina
Hi Bianca! For sure. We don’t buy granola anymore, we make our own. Cheaper and healthier too. There’s a recipe on the blog for basic granola if you’re interested to know more 🙂
Elizabeth
Healthy cookie is what I need right now. A great way to start the year!
