Blackberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Yesterday I stumbled upon a post from Angela who blogs at The Lemoine Family Kitchen for breakfast cookies. Her cookies looked soooo good!  I have been wanting to make breakfast cookies for some time now and after browsing the recipe, I realized I had everything I needed to make these cookies in my pantry with a few adaptations.  (Sometimes I get spontaneous with my baking like that!)  Hearty and delicious, these cookies are a great choice for a quick breakfast!

These "cookies" are dense.  Don't expect them to come out like real deal dessert-type "cookies" because they won't.  They aren't supposed to be like dessert cookies...they are breakfast cookies! I'd say they have more like a "muffin got together with a cookie and had a child" sort of texture.  They are great with a cup of hot coffee!

Of course, you can use whatever type of fruit you like in here...Angela used blueberries, I used blackberries, but other berries and chopped fruit would work well too!

  2. In a large bowl, with a whisk, combine the coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla. Set aside.

  4. Add in the oats and stir. Gently fold in the blackberries.
  5. Drop cookies using a 1/4 cup measure onto prepared baking sheet a few inches apart. Flatten the mounds a little with fingers.

So it seems we are being pelted by yet another winter storm today.  Ugh.  I could talk about how awful this winter has been and how I don't think I can take one more day of this stuff...but I will spare you the broken record.  

Not a whole lot has been happening around here.  Nice and quiet. It's nice to have quiet now and again.  I do have a great giveaway coming up for you though...so stay tuned!

  3. I've been looking for a good breakfast cookie recipe. Everything I have looked at recently seems to call for a stick of butter...which makes it a regular cookie in my book :-) Pinning this!

  4. My sister and I lived on Baker's Breakfast cookies when we did WW back in the day - although back then because they were so high in fiber, they were like 1 point - fast forward a year, they change the labeling and each cookie we thought was only 1 point turned out to be 6 points!

    Looks delish!

  6. I made them as little cookies - got about 20 or so and they were fabulous - thanks - stumpled on your recipe by searching for blackberry and Yogurt cookies - but these are fabulous and perfect - I used my processor and maybe mashed the berries too much, but still great also just used white flour and didn't have any zest - a bug thumbs up from me Sheila May
    Thanks
