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.

This is something I would eat in a heartbeat. I’ve really come to love dried fruits and nuts and to have all of that conveniently made into a breakfast cookie…well you can’t ask for more than that!

Me too! So we’ve learned to make lots of make ahead options that we can just grab and go 🙂

These are going to be perfect for my picky eaters. I love that they can so easily be customized. Plus, calling them cookies will be an easy sell to my preschooler.

Its a perfect superfood for the breakfast, when you add up all these must have’s to form a cookie. I shall try it out soon, but I’m not aware much about Goji berries, what exactly are they? Shall search.
