Who says you can’t eat cookies for breakfast?! These vegan breakfast cookies are loaded with wholesome ingredients like oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Pair one of these with your morning smoothie or coffee for tasty pantry-friendly breakfast treat.

Since a lot of us are sheltering at home for the time being, baking is a perfect way to pass the time. I have been making a batch of these yummy vegan breakfast cookies each weekend to snack on with my morning smoothie or packed in my lunch box as an afternoon treat. For those who are leaning into your pantry staples, this is a great option for you.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make these Vegan Breakfast Cookies

  • Oats – buy the old-fashioned ones not the quick cooking or instant variety.
  • Almond flour
  • Nut Butter or Tahini – I’ve made these cookies with both peanut butter and tahini and they both work great! Other nut butters will likely work well too, just make sure it is creamy and well-stirred before using.
  • Maple Syrup
  • Nuts & Seeds – Feel free to adjust these based on what you have in your pantry. I used pumpkin seeds, slivered almonds, and shredded coconut. However, you could also use chopped walnuts/pistachios/peanuts, etc.
  • Chocolate chips OR dried fruit – Switch up the flavor of these cookies by using dried fruit instead of chocolate chips. Dried cranberries or raising would be perfect in these cookies. Add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg with the dried fruit version.

Tips for Making these Vegan Breakfast Cookies

  • These cookies can be whipped up in just one bowl! I add the liquid ingredients first and whisk them together. Next, add in all of the dry ingredients (oats, almond flour, nuts, seeds, chips, etc.) and stir well.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop these cookies onto the pan. I like to make these into big cookies. Smooth the dough into a round disk with the back of the measuring scoop.
  • Make sure to line your baking sheet with either a silpat baking mat or parchment paper to prevent these cookies from sticking.
  • Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes after removing them from the oven before transferring to a cooling rack. They will be a little soft when you first remove them from the oven but firm up as they cool.
  • These make a chewy cookie that is perfect for dipping in a cup of coffee in the morning.

    Wow! A lot of calories and fat – yes most of the fat is healthy fat but really adds to the calorie intake. I bit too much for me!
