This Cookie Fix “Healthy Breakfast Cookie” copycat recipe tastes VERY similar to the bestseller of Birmingham’s favorite cookie stop. 

Here’s What You Need to Know about My Healthy Breakfast Cookie Recipe:

• My healthy breakfast cookies taste VERY similar to the Cookie Fix “Healthy Breakfast Cookie.” These are the best gluten-free cookies I have ever eaten, other than a cookie by the same name at Cookie Fix in Birmingham. They are a slight modification of this recipe from Chelsea’s Messy Apron that I have been making for years. They are best served with a glass of cold milk.
• These cookies contain no flour, butter, or oil. These are a fabulous treat for those who follow a gluten-free diet. Most oats are gluten-free, but always check to make sure that what you are buying is in fact certified gluten-free.
• These cookies are rich, dense, and soft. My healthy breakfast cookies are dense and rich, and the texture is slightly crumbly. They are really soft, as they don’t have flour as a binder. I love the consistency, though, and feel that they taste similar to cookie dough. Be careful not to overtake, as they will not turn out well. Slightly undercook and err on the side of removing too soon.

What to Use When Making Healthy Breakfast Cookies

• Use peanut butter or almond butter (or both). My daughter and I like to make these cookies with half peanut butter half almond butter.  You can definitely use all peanut butter or all almond butter, but I recommend trying the combination of the two. My favorite almond butter is Trader Joe’s crunchy. I love several brands of peanut butter~always crunchy. You can use smooth or crunchy in this recipe. 
• Use high-quality chocolate chips. Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips are my favorite for these cookies. They are mini chips~the perfect size for these soft, moist cookies. My next favorite brand is Ghirardelli semi-sweet. I don’t recommend milk chocolate chips, as they won’t add the kick or have any benefits of darker chocolate.
• Use a cookie scoop. These cookies should be a uniform size to bake evenly. The best results come when using a small cookie scoop. This oxo small scoop is the one I have and love. in the video, I am using a medium scoop. After scooping the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, press each dough ball down gently to flatten it just a bit.
• Do not overbake. These cookies should be removed from the oven BEFORE they “look” baked. They need to be “set” but still slightly undercooked. They will continue to cook/firm up as they cool. Watch them as they get close to the end of cooking time. When the baking chips turn from glossy to dull, you can safely pull them out of the oven. 

Are cookies good for breakfast?

According to a new study, eating ice cream, cake, chocolate, or cookies for breakfast may actually help people lose weight.

Can cookies be healthy?

They’re ideal for baking for guests or bringing to a party. On the other hand, most traditional cookie recipes are loaded with high-calorie and high-sugar ingredients like butter, granulated sugar, or chocolate. Can you make cookies that are a little bit healthier? You most certainly can!

Why do people love to eat cookies?

Cookies can be a healthier alternative to other unhealthy snacks daily because they contain good nutrition to provide energy intake such as sugar and carbohydrates. And the best part is that it’s delicious!
