Fall Memories

That little “kettle” on the stove. Yes, kettle, not pot or saucepan as I call it these days, but kettle like my mom called it. Vancouver is quite chilly during the fall because of all the moisture in the air. It really gets you to the bones and it’s harder to warm up. The sky is grey and moisture hangs in the air whether it’s raining or not.

Every day we would walk home from school and as soon as we opened the front door we were greeted with warm air and smells. It wasn’t from the food that was cooking, though that often happened too, but it was from the kettle of spices on the stove making our house smell like fall or the holidays. That’s what inspired this spiced almond breakfast cookie and our decision to continue our partnership with Fisher Nuts. 

That’s where these breakfast cookies come in. We love using good products for our family as it makes us feel better on the inside and we believe it sets our children up to make wise food choices in the future. I mean think about it, you buy what your mom bought. She only used wheat bread, you probably do the same. We choose to use and work with Fisher nuts because it is the only brand of recipe nuts entirely without preservatives.

And in the meantime, make sure you make these spiced almond breakfast cookies for the kids in the morning. It will start them off with a heart healthy breakfast that smells amazing and will have them feeling warm from the inside out!

Ingredients for Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies

There’s no flour or dairy in this recipe which makes them very allergy friendly. Make sure your oats are gluten free and you have a gluten-free, dairy-free cookie. Here is everything you will need:

• Raw Whole Fisher Nuts Almonds: used to make homemade almond butter
• Bananas: overripe to add the perfect flavor and sweetness
• Maple Syrup: adds natural sweetness
• Molasses: adds rich flavor and more sweetness
• Dried Orange Zest: You can find this with the spices. It will be in the same type of container as the other spices. The brand we have is Spice Islands.
• Spices: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves and Ground Ginger
• Old Fashioned Rolled Oats: The texture of old fashioned oats is what we prefer over quick or instant oats.
• White Chocolate Chips:
• Craisins: can be swapped for raisins or omitted if desired

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

How to Make Healthy Breakfast Cookies

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
2. Blend: Add the almonds to a blender and mix until a thick almond butter is formed.
3. Mix: In a large bowl, add the almond butter along with the mashed bananas, maple syrup, molasses, orange zest, and spices.
4. Fold: Add the oats, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and fold everything together.
5. Scoop: Use a cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the tops down gently to flatten them out a little.
6. Bake: Bake each sheet of cookies for 10 minutes and serve them warm or place them in a sealed container once cooled.

All of these instructions can be found in full detail in the recipe card down below.

Storage Tips

Breakfast cookies should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. They will keep for 7-10 days.

These cookies freeze great. I like to make a double or triple batch and then store them in the freezer for breakfasts and snacks. When you freeze them, they will last for up to 3 months. Let them thaw for a few minutes and then eat them cold, or you can zap them for a few seconds in the microwave and eat them warm.

Start your morning with a delicious and energizing treat with these spiced white chocolate craisin breakfast cookies. Packed with wholesome ingredients, these cookies are the perfect way to kickstart your day.
