Blueberry Breakfast Cookies.
It’s not like we need an excuse to have cookies for breakfast… but I’m giving you one anyway.
Just tag the word “breakfast” on the front and you’re good to go. Automatic health food!
Breakfast DONUTS. Breakfast CAKE. Breakfast cheeseburger? Breakfast pizza?
I love how the world works.
LOOK at all that goodness.
I first made some breakfast cookies a few years ago, but these ones here are based on a recipe in Seriously Delish. The ones in the book have lots of figs and dark chocolate, so I kept the chocolate (obviously) and threw in some blueberries. And used a little buttermilk!
It’s like another cookie muffin hybrid thing. It gives you an excuse to have another one when you totally don’t need another one.
I’m currently in a major savory breakfast phase – I don’t want pancakes or french toast or cinnamon rolls or pastries. I’m half lying because I ended up with pancakes for dinner last night but that was more out of desperation than anything else.
SO. I just want things like eggs benedict and loaded breakfast sandwiches and every slice of bacon that exists.
But! Since I don’t have tons of time at the moment, I’m living on things like these. Breakfast cookies should really translate to “anytime” cookies because I’m also eating them for lunch and snacks and maaaaaybe in the middle of the night.
P.S. if you’re a nursing mom you can totally add some brewers yeast and turn them into cookies like these.
AND the best part is that they are the perfect complement to iced coffee.
Which I currently need an IV of.
For the rest of my life.
Just please inject it into my veins?
K thanks.
Blueberry Breakfast Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry or all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, flaxseed, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a smaller bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, egg, coconut oil, butter, vanilla extract and buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix them until just combined. Stir in the blueberries, almonds and the chocolate until they are evenly dispersed.
- Scoop out the dough 2 tablespoons at a time and place it on a nonstick baking sheet, keeping the cookies 2 inches apart from each other. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet.
- These cookies are best when eaten the first or second day, but can be stored in a sealed bag or container for up to 5 days. I even like them stored in the fridge and you can freeze the dough ahead of time too. I suggest scooping out the cookies and freezing like that. Bake at the same temperature for a minute or so longer if frozen.

Get. In. My. Belly. Seriously, I’m a little sad I saw these this morning, because now it’s all I can think about, but I have zero time to actually make them today. So glad you mentioned adding brewer’s yeast, because when I saw those oats I thought about how great these would be for my supply! Can’t wait to make these.
Yum! These look great and I love the ingredients list!
What can I substitute for the ground Flax?
i think you can probably just add a little extra flour (maybe 2 tablespoons or what if you used oat bran??
i can do that, i have oat bran.i just wanted to use what i have in my cupboard.
Hubby will be happy with these for breakfast,thank you.
Adding fruit to breakfast cookies is definitely something I need to get into! Love this recipe Jess!
these look so awesome! barbara loves oatmeal cookies and these would save me on making breakfast every morning.
Ok, uhm, yea. This is so happening this weekend! Thank you for providing me with breakfast for the next week and for doing all the thinking for me. That could get dangerous! Haha, great recipe!
These are goooorgeous! And, yes cookies for breakfast win life … also, where there’s oats and nuts … you’re half way to a granola bar aka HEALTH FOOD … #Winning.
omg. yum. the pictures are gorgeous as usual, but those blueberries though… I was about to run out and get a bagel for breakfast – maybe I should just get some blueberries!
i am in such a sweet breakfast phase right now, and these are getting made ASAP. and perhaps I’ll make a second batch to freeze for when i start the boob-feeding…
umm… totally shoving two of these together with a filling of Häagen-Dazs and calling it a breakfast cookie ICE CREAM SANDWICH.
okay? okaaaaaay,
OMG love this recipe! Must make asap :) thanks
Um, I just shared breakfast NACHOS today, so yeah, I support this breakfast cookie thing full on. These look so good! Love the fresh berries.
This is my favourite way to start a good day – cookies for breakfast :D
Cookies for breakfast? I’m always in for that. I’m more of a savory breakfast person as well, but sometimes a girl needs a waffle! :D These look beautiful.
I’ll take any excuse to have cookies for breakfast! thanks!
I love sweet breakfasts during spring/summer, especially if they are loaded with chocolate :) love the blueberries in these recipe and love that I can have cookies for breakfast :)
These look delicious Jessica! I recently had to go gluten free due to health problems, but I look forward to adjusting this recipe and making them soon! :)
They look so delicious! I really love cookies and every morning I bake some of these!

Mmm I already love blueberry regular cookies and I make excuses to eat them for breakfast but now I don’t have to kid myself!
Oh yes, I love how the world works too. Breakfast cookies are my kind of breakfast food, love these!!
These look amazing, nice substitute for the traditional blueberry muffins! Can’t wait to make them.
I admit it, I totally eat cookies for breakfast sometimes!! I’ll justify eating these because they have fruit in them so they must be healthy, right?? Of course ;)
OMG I need these asap. Can I use frozen blueberries? I’ve got some bouncing around in my freezer and, like I said, I NEED these.
OMG These look so delicious and I totally agree just adding the word breakfast infront of anything makes it feel healthy?!! ;)
This looks so delicious! I really want to make this myself.
i read your blog everyday, and die over all the amazing recipes you have!! these cookies look amaaaazing. i am just wondering what the bananas do, and if i could do without them (or use something else as a substitute)? i just really dislike them and even when people swear you can’t taste them in a recipe, i can taste them, so i’d like to just omit them if possible. but i wasn’t sure if that would mess up the recipe. just curious! keep posting your amazing food!!
I’m wondering about this too! No matter how delicious a banana bread smells or muffin recipe looks, I despise bananas. Have to make these somehow!
i think if you omit, you need SOMETHING in it’s place – maybe try yogurt? or do you like pumpkin or squash or sweet potatoes??
GOD, these cookies, Jessica! I can’t get over that blueberries photo – they look so perfect. Cannot. Wait. to make this recipe. <3
This looks so good, can’t wait to make this recipe!!
Mmm these look so yummy, I cannot wait to try making these this weekend!
These look delicious, I never would have thought to make cookies for breakfast!
xo, Liz

I can’t wait to try these!! Thank you!
Oh YUM! I had some blueberry overnight oatmeal (with coconut, almonds etc) this morning (my way of getting to a fast breakfast for four) so I’m already riding on the blueberry/oat train with you…these look soooo good!
Could I use canola oil instead of the coconut oil since I don’t have that type of oil in my pantry.
yes!
haha I totally love your rationale on the “breakfast food” thing (cookies! donuts! lol) and could certainly go for some of these!
These look amazing and a definite must try!
I was going to bake your lactation cookies for my (Pittsburgh) buddies who just had a baby – this sounds even better b/c it will force her to eat some for breakfast.
in looooooooove with these!

Any suggestions for a banana substitute?
you could maybe try yogurt – or even pumpkin or squash or sweet potato if you like it?!
I have to caution… do not make these with overripe bananas like you would use for banana bread… yikes!!! Otherwise they were great but I’m not a fan of that overly strong banana flavor.
Only 168 calories per cookie. That is not too horrible at all, plus there’s chocolate! How can you go wrong? :)
