Easy, no-bake, and healthy double-chocolate breakfast cookies 

Easy, no-bake, and healthy double-chocolate breakfast cookies I chelseasmessyapron.com
I adore breakfast. But, I’ll be honest. Slaving over a breakfast meal that takes tons of preparation, produces dozens of dirty dishes, and leaves me feeling like I’ll topple over from being too full is for special occasions only. Like every Saturday ?

But for the weekdays? I’m definitely more into quick, on-the-go, and healthy breakfast options. Like healthy banana oat muffins and peanut butter breakfast cookies. Oh, and overnight peanut butter cheesecake oats are a great go-to option around these parts.

And these breakfast cookies are no different. They are incredibly simple, completely satisfying, and made with good-for-you ingredients. So you can eat cookies for breakfast.

You can also make these cookies in one bowl, have them completely finished in about 5 minutes, and eat the whole batch if you feel like it. But, more likely, you’ll have some leftover and you can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. (In an airtight container.)

Easy, no-bake, and healthy double-chocolate breakfast cookies 

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Healthy
Servings: 15 breakfast cookies
Author: Chelsea Lords
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter (can use peanut butter)
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (uncooked)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup oat flour (regular oats that have been blended)
  • 1/3 cup rice krispie cereal
  • 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond butter, agave nectar, vanilla, and salt. Microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir until combined. Add in the cocoa powder, oats, coconut, and oat flour (to make oat flour, take regular oats and place them in a blender or food processor and pulse until they resemble flour). Mix to combine.

  2. Stir in rice krispies and chocolate chips. Mix. (If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more oat flour and if it is too dry add a bit more almond butter or agave nectar -- there is some variance based off of the brands you use)

  3. Place in the fridge, covered, for 20 minutes to firm up.

  4. Form balls with the mixture and then flatten the balls in your hand to create a cookie shape.
  5. Store cookies in an airtight container for 4-5 days (I keep mine in the fridge) or freeze for up to 3 months.

  19. All of these cookies look so yummy! I can’t wait to try them. I’m wondering if anyone has ever tried to add protein powder to them to boost their nutritional value? I’ll be back in a few days to tell you how my cookies turned out – and what my 7 year old thought of them!

  20. Hi!
    These look fabulous!!! Just one(maybe two problems) A. I have no Rice Krispies- but I do have Cheerios(the fan isn’t a huge fan of the Krispies- oh well) Could I use a different type of cereal or just all oats? And B. Calorie count?
    But again they look fabulous!
    Thanks so much
    Kate.

    • Hi Kate! I’ve never experimented making these with other cereals, but I bet you could just do all oats (I can’t vouch for this though since I haven’t tried it either). The rice krispies give them a nice crunch that I like, so maybe you could crush a few Cheerios down and try that.

  21. Why is it that you don’t post the nutrition information with your recipes? It seems completely counter-intuitive to me, to write a bunch of skinny and healthy recipes, and not give that info. Most people looking for this type of thing will want to know!

    • I LOVE your view on healthy eating — in all my years of trying to maintain weight and a healthier lifestyle, I’ve come to the same conclusion 🙂 Moderation in everything! Thank you so much! 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful day!

  23. Hi! I love the sound of these and the cinnamon roll ones also look amazing! However I have a problem, I’m allergic to peanuts! I’m trying to eat more protein but every recipe has peanut butter in it! Is there any thing I could substitute instead?
    🙂

    • Have you tried sunbutter? I’m not sure how it will taste since I haven’t tried it, but I do know that’s high in protein!
