Nutty Oat Choc Chip Breakfast Cookies

Nutty oat choc chip breakfast cookies — they are easy to make, incredibly yum and packed with healthy and nutritious ingredients; oats, nuts, dates – so good!

A few months ago, I made some delicious pancakes and a strawberry cream tart using delicious Flahavan’s oats.

And now I have another super tasty oaty recipe for you!

Nutty oat choc chip breakfast cookies–they are easy to make, incredibly yum and packed with healthy and nutritious ingredients; oats, nuts, dates–so good!

I’m a big fan of Flahavan’s oats, I love their unique, naturally creamy taste and texture–such an amazing and healthy ingredient, and not just for porridge!

These cookies are perfect for breakfast or a post gym snack (I like to eat them with some plant-based milk).

You might also want to check out my first two recipes as well; my fluffy savoury oat pancakes topped with mushrooms, and my avocado, and pesto dressing or a beautiful strawberry cream tart.

All these recipes are made with whole grains and are a source of protein and fibre. Happy days!

I really hope you love these cookies as much as I do.

Enjoy, love Niki xx

Ingredients

200 g medjool dates pitted or dates soaked to soften for a few hours
3 small ripe bananas or 2 large
3 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
Pinch sea salt flakes
1 tsp baking powder
75 g ground almonds
150 g Flahavan’s Organic Porridge Oats
4 tbsp chopped nuts
3 tbsp raw cacao nibs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180c.
Pop the dates, banana & nut butter into your food processor or high-speed blender and blitz until you get a paste.
Next, add in the vanilla, cinnamon, mixed spice, salt, baking powder. Blitz again for a minute.
Add in the oats and ground almonds and pulse so that everything is combined.
Finally, add in the cacao nips and chopped nuts and pulse twice to mix through.
Grease your baking tray with a little coconut oil, then either wet your hands before scooping up the mix with your hands, roll into a ball then place on the baking tray. Continue until you have used all the mix.
Flatten the cookies a little, then bake for 18 minutes.
Top with more nuts and cacao nibs–press in a little.
Allow to cool a little before eating–if you can!
