Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free

Take the chaos out of school mornings and keep a batch of these breakfast cookies on hand! These trail mix cookies are chewy, fueling, and loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients. They’re tasty and more importantly, a guaranteed way to fuel you up while running out the door!

With school somehow around the corner, I think all of us are at least slightly thinking of how our new routine is going to look and dreading the morning rush. Which is why make-ahead breakfast recipes are so important! Whip up your meals the night before and take pleasure in your mornings being a little less chaotic. And these breakfast cookies are perfect for just that!

Why These Breakfast Cookies Make for A Healthy Start

Most grab-and-go breakfasts are loaded with processed oils and sugar. This definitely gives an energy rush, but also a big crash. These trail mix cookies are based around healthy fats to help slow the release of the sugars, provide satiety, and give you a flavor burst in the morning. Plus, the breakfast cookies use raisins, figs, and a bit of honey in place of any processed sugar to keep them sweet – perfect for kids.

Can I Sub The Almond Butter?

Of course! These healthy breakfast cookies work with any nut butter. Personally, I’ve tried both cashew and almond hazelnut. Use what you have on hand. You can also sub the chopped walnuts for pecans – it tastes delicious!

Kid-Approved Cookies

I have yet to meet a kid who doesn’t want to start the morning with cookies! Thankfully these trail mix cookies are both mom and kid-approved. You’ll love them because:

  • They’re sweet, but not too sweet
  • They pair great with fruit in the morning for a healthy, complete breakfast
  • Easy to grab and run out the door
  • Healthy fats are great for brain development and focus in the morning

While the ingredient list may seem long, these breakfast cookies are easy to whip up.
