Healthy breakfast cookies

For the days when I’m really rushing but still want my girls to have something nutritious in their bellies, I give them a couple of these and a piece of fruit. They’re a great kick of protein, fibre and fats to fuel their morning 🙂

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oats
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup slivered or chopped raw almonds
• 1/2 tablespoon flaxseeds
• 1/4 cup melted/ very soft grass fed butter
• 1/4 cup nut butter (I use almond as my hubby is allergic to peanuts but will work with any nuts)
• 1 pastured egg
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• Optional: can add in 1 table spoon of chopped dried fruit or raisins if you want a sweeter cookie, or a 1/4 cup puffed quinoa if want more protein
• Makes 18 medium sized cookies

Method:

• preheat oven to 150′ Celsius
• mix all dry ingredients in a bowel
• stir in wet ingredients
• use your hands to form small balls of the mixture and place on a lined baking tray
• wet your hands to flatten a bit and shape
• bake at 150’Celsius for around 30 minutes until a golden brown
• remove and let cool on a baking rack
• keep in an airtight container
