Almond Berry Breakfast Cookies
Flourless and with very little added sweetener, these breakfast cookies are delicious and easy to make! They are a healthy snack or treat, too.
Servings 12 small cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 3 TBSP almond butter
- 1 TBSP ground flax seed
- 1-3 TBSP maple syrup (depending on how sweet you want them)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup almond meal/ almond flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries (I like frozen wild blueberries or raspberries)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Mash the banana in a large bowl. Stir in the almond butter, flax seed, maple syrup, and then the remaining ingredients except the berries. Mix well.
- Scoop the cookie dough into golf-ball sized balls onto a cookie sheet. Press lightly with wet fingers to flatten. Gently add a few fresh or frozen berries on top of each cookie. I use small wild blueberries or pieces of frozen raspberries. You could also sprinkle coconut or chocolate chips on top if you don't have berries.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and firm around the edges. Let cool completely before eating so they firm up.
