But do they taste healthy???
They do, in a good way. The soft and fudgy cookies are like little chocolate banana muffins in cookie form, and each naturally sweetened treat (no added sugar) is filled with rich chocolate and wholesome oatmeal.
However, I wouldn’t recommend bringing the cookies to a party or serving them to anyone who isn’t really into healthy desserts.
If you’re looking for a good recipe for those occasions, I highly recommend one of the following:
Chocolate No Bake Cookies (shown above)
The recipe was adapted from my original Breakfast Cookies.
And the cookies can be baked or no-bake – it’s completely your choice!
Not just for breakfast, these are also great to pack in a school lunchbox or serve as a quick and nutritious afternoon snack.
*If you need a keto no-bake snack, try these Fat Bombs.
(Above: Watch the video how to make the chocolate breakfast cookies)
I also made a quick video of the recipe, to show just how easy they are to prepare.
Feel free to add some chocolate chips, shredded coconut, raisins, chopped walnuts or hazelnuts (nutella breakfast cookies??), or anything else that sounds good to you.
Chocolate Breakfast Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled or quick oats
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup mashed banana (for banana-free, make these Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Bars)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly sub
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional add-ins, such as mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, raisins, chopped walnuts, etc.
Instructions
- *For the no-bake version, I like using softened coconut butter because the cookies will be firmer, but any nut butter or allergy-friendly sub can be used.If baking, start by preheating the oven to 325 F. Stir together all ingredients, then scoop onto a greased tray. I used a mini cookie scoop. You can flatten the cookie balls if desired. Either chill until firm, or bake 10 minutes and then let cool another 10 before trying to remove from the tray.View Nutrition Facts

I was out of cocoa powder, so made them without and they turned out great! I used cashew butter and baked them. Ate the whole batch myself without guilt. So yummy, will definitely make them again.
Hi, the cookies are really great, I’ve made them a bunch of times, but I don’t understand by my calculations, the calories per serving are very different (129 calories per serving), it would be possibile to have the grams version instead of cups?
Maybe this is what I did wrong..
Thanks
these cookies are delicious! They are fudgy, soft, and the perfect treat! how do you recommend storing them?
How long do the healthy breakfasts cookies last? Should I keep them in the fridge? How should I store them?
Make these regularly, sometimes without the cocoa powder, usually with tiny chocolate chips. An absolute favorite in our house:)
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
Try to keep them in freezer for a guilt-free snack.
Maybe I missed it, but how long do these last stored in the refrigerator after being made?
