A Healthier Way to Snack: Recipe for Sugar-Free Oatmeal & Seed Breakfast Cookies
Baking cookies without sugar? Who would have guessed it can be so yummy! With our recipe for crispy oatmeal & seed breakfast cookies, you can satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt. A banana and a little honey provide the sweetness in these cookies – that’s it! And the rest? They consist of hazelnuts, rolled oats, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, dried cranberries, and spices. Grab your baking supplies and whip up a batch of these oatmeal & seed breakfast cookies.
To make these cookies, start by mashing the banana and mixing it with honey and an egg. In a second step, add the rolled oats, hazelnuts, cranberries, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder and mix everything into a smooth dough. Using a spoon, scoop out small, individual portions, place them on a baking sheet, and flatten them with your hands. Make sure to leave some space between the dough portions.
Let the oatmeal & seed breakfast cookies cool completely after baking before trying the first one. They are delicious as a sweet snack in between meals, but are also ideal as a small breakfast.
By the way, the great thing about our recipe is not only the manageable list of ingredients and the short preparation time of just under half an hour, but also its versatility.
