Breakfast Cookies
Paleo Breakfast Cookies are a healthy alternative and low in sugar, and dairy and grain free! A great on the go breakfast! These cookies are also Gluten Free, and SCD Legal.
I am sure that the words breakfast cookie go against everything you were ever taught about a healthy start to the day, but don’t let the name deceive you. These breakfast cookies are in the shape of a cookie, but have the same texture as the top of a muffin and they also happen to be healthy!
Unlike traditional cookies, they are primarily sweetened with pureed bananas, which gives them a deliciously soft and moist texture. The batter is lightly spiced with a combination of cinnamon and mixed spice, giving each cookie a nice autumn like flavour.
Every bite of the Paleo Breakfast Cookie is packed with crunch from the chopped walnuts and a burst of juicy sweetness from the dried blueberries. That being said you can easily swap the walnuts for pecans, almonds or hazelnuts, and dried cherries, cranberries or raisins can also work in place of the blueberries.
I enjoy having one or two of these paleo breakfast cookies in the morning with my coffee, and then sneak in a few more with my afternoon tea. Because they are low in sugar and have a decent amount of protein, there is no need for guilt, and they help keep your fueled throughout the morning.

Nutrition
Hello! Loving this recipe- just trying to figure out if the calories you have listed in the description 156 are per cookie or per batch? I’m assuming it’s per cookie but double checking so I don’t eat them all at once!
Yummy, entire family loved these. I used Trade Joe’s freeze dried blueberries. Now I keep a couple bags in reserve so I can whip up a batch!
