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 Basic 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.

I would love to have these for my breakfast or mid day snack. Always hungry during those wee hours.
Robyn
These look so tasty. I know my family would love these as a snack.
Marisa Franca
What a great recipe. How many times I’ve eaten something sub-par because I HAD to eat breakfast when I could have had something tasty and good for me instead. I bet you can freeze them too or have them as a snack. Will be making them soon.
Jolina
Thanks Marisa! Freezing them is a great idea. We usually keep them in a cookie jar and they’re good for a week or so (if we don’t eat them all first lol). Hope you’re enjoying warm Florida!
Marjie Mare
I wish I had known that healthy cookie breakfast before. My older daughter was such a picky eater, that would have been perfect. I would try to make them for myself and will let you know how they come
Jolina
Me too! It would have saved me from eating junk for breakfast. Hope you and your daughter like them!
Shell
Wow these look super delicious and so easy to make! What a great idea for a healthy snack on the run!
Jolina
Hi Shell! I agree! We usually bring a couple in a ziploc bag when we’re out doing errands. Saves us money and helps us avoid eating junk on the road 🙂
Sarah
These cookies look amazing! I love Gogi berries. They give an amazing taste to oatmeal as well. Do you think you could substitute almond butter for the peanut butter?
Jolina
Hi Sarah! I love goji berries too. We put them in yogurt and granola and I think everything lol. And yes, almond butter would work great here. Hope you like them!
Renata Green
Besides the great idea of serving cookies for breakfast – which is fun – consisting of super food – which is…super, I really like the concept and layout of your post – beautiful and professional! I enjoy the quality of your pictures and the film – no wonder you give advise how to photograph food. I believe that food photographie is the hardest – a little of bad lightning and yummy goes to yucky.
Jolina
Thanks for your kind words Renata!
Cristina
These look so yummy and super healthy! I’ll need to see if they can curb my sugar cravings
Dada

Who doesn’t love cookies for breakfast? I may even be able to get my kids to eat these when I tell them they are cookies!
