Cookies for breakfast? Oh yeah! I’ve filled these cookies with ingredients that will help you start your day. Gluten free oats, loaded with fiber and will help keep you full. Chia seeds to add even more fiber and a little omega fatty acids too. Refined-sugar free sweeteners, both coconut sugar and pure maple syrup. I couldn’t leave out the coconut oil, which is one of those healthy fats that our body needs!
I must say these cookies would make a great snack too! Packed in your backpack for an afternoon hike or shared with friends on a weekend camping trip. An on-the-go cookie that you can feel good about eating. Who’s ready to star their day with a gluten, dairy and egg free chocolate chip breakfast cookie?

Can the chia seeds be left out completely? My son will see the specks and not eat them 🙁

Heat the coconut oil in the microwave to soften
