If you’ve ever spent a morning with me, chances are, I had a batch of mini muffins or breakfast cookies ready to munch on.
Whether I’m running out there door or simply having a friend over for coffee, it feels good to have a simple, delicious breakfast on hand.
Now I’ve shared lots of “healthier” breakfast treats on the blog, but today we are taking it a step further and making cookies with no sugar! They are creamy, earthy, + sweetened naturally with real fruit.
Preheat your oven + break out the cookie sheet. Today we are making gluten free Fig + Blueberry Breakfast Cookies!
The base of these healthy breakfast cookies is almond butter, coconut flour and eggs. I love getting in a solid dose of protein + healthy fats first thing in the morning. These ingredients keep me satiated through the entire morning + are a great post-workout snack or breakfast.
These cookies, made without any grain, are gluten free and also dairy free. You would never know though. My fig + blueberry cookies have a soft, sticky texture, with pops with blueberries—the ideal breakfast cookie combo.
Make these cookies in advance, share them with friends, + use them as a grab-and-go breakfast during the week ahead!
I hope you enjoy these Fig + Blueberry Breakfast Cookies with your morning coffee this week! They are:
Perfectly Textured
Naturally Sweetened
Simple to make
Crunchy + Creamy
Loaded with Protein
& SO Delicious!
