How to Make Breakfast Cookies for Kids

In this post, I am sharing our family favorite recipe for how to make breakfast cookies for kids. With busy mornings and hungry little bellies, these nutritious breakfast cookies are the perfect grab and go snack for all parents around.

Why We Love These Breakfast Cookies

I have been making this exact recipe since I was a young girl of 12 years old. The credit for the original idea of these as breakfast cookies goes to my mom. These were the only cookies she would gladly let us have for a quick breakfast snack if we had a busy or slow morning. They are full of healthy fats, raw organic sucanat sugar, dried coconut, oats, whole wheat flour, and honestly anything you want to add to them. It is a very versatile recipe.

What You Will Need

• large mixing bowl
• whisk, spatula, or dough whisk
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• 3 cups organic sucanat (we get ours from Azure Standard)

• 2 tsp. sea salt

• 3 cups organic rolled oats
