These might be one of the best things that have come from my kitchen. I realize that the more I say that, the more I lose my credibility. Maybe it’s just because I love food so much – so everything is goooooooooooooooooooood to me. But, I’ve even tried this recipe on a few friends and it passes the test every time. One of my very good friends has to freeze half the batch so she doesn’t eat them all herself – I would have that same problem if I didn’t have two little ones with sticky fingers. 😉
These are full of great, nutritious foods that will start your day off right. And what’s better than saying “Come on kids! I made cookies for breakfast!” This batch makes four large cookies – which will feed me and my two youngsters. However, I do serve them with smoothies and fruit. If I didn’t, I know I WOULD eat all four. Feel free to make the cookies smaller – I just like big cookies. Go big or go home.
These are great plain – that’s how Andy likes them. They’re also good dipped in yogurt, Annie’s choice…she’s a dipper. For me, I slather them with butter. Because I’ll butter anything that will stand still.
Change it up and use chocolate chips or craisins (dried cranberries) instead of raisins. Be creative!

Hi Stacy, loved the recipe and I adjusted it for my sister to use for a quick on the go breakfast or snack. I doubled the recipe, subbed half of the oat flour for ground flaxseed, used sliced almonds and crasins. I sprayed a muffin tin and used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop, which made 12 exactly. I pressed the dough into the tins with the bottom of a small cup. I baked at 350 for 12 mins. After cooling a bagged them and froze them for breakfast and snacks on the go!
I am so excited that you posted this recipe!! I shared on my blog today about how it pretty much changed my life!! http://www.pursuingexpressionsofjoy.com/2014/03/loving-these-breakfast-cookies.html

I love cookies like this, sneaking nutrition into those kids when they think they’re getting cookies. Hello from Fat Tuesday.
Yum! I need to try these!
Made this the other day using goji berries since I couldn’t find my raisins (we moved recently) and sliced almonds. We all loved them and devoured them! The next day I made a double batch and they are almost gone. The kids, 3, 2, & 1, all love them for snack time, while me and the husband like them ALL the time!
No greek yogurt on hand and grocery day is wednesday, regular organic vanilla going to work ok?
You may want to strain the regular yogurt…it won’t be very thick, but it will probably work. Let us know if you try it how it turns out!
So excited about these! I’m making some as soon as I can These will be a great quick breakfast for this nursing mama! 🙂
These look like they are so good and not loaded with sugar. I am definitely going to make them. Thanks for the recipe. By the way, I never did receive the lip balm.
Sorry you haven’t gotten the lip balm. I emailed her so we’ll hopefully figure out what’s going on soon.
Made these today – they were great! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to make these!!! They sound great and something perfect for taking to work! I will probably have to hid them from the kids and hubby. Thanks for another great recipe!
Stacy these sound so good! Could I sub reg. all-purpose flour for the oat flour? That’s all I have on hand & want to make these tomorrow morning. I love your recipes! Thanks 🙂
I would stick with oat flour. You can make your own: http://www.momables.com/how-to-make-oat-flour/
mmmm sounds good! I love oatmeal raisin cookies!
Do you use regular oatmeal or quick cooking? Will have to see if I can find oat flour.
Thanks for the recipe.
I used rolled oats. You can make your own oat flour with a blender or food processor: http://www.momables.com/how-to-make-oat-flour/
Do you happen to know how much fat and carbs each cookie contains?
Sorry, but no.
I love breakfast cookies! I’m going to be trying these.
