Sunbutter Grab and Go Breakfast Cookies

A delicious peanut free, nut free breakfast cookie recipe!

These are not your typical Sunbutter cookies made in the style of peanut butter cookies. We all know that recipe by this point! Instead, these cookies are light and soft, and make a great vessel for whatever you can think to add to them – such as shelled seeds (such as flax, chia, or pumpkin), chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, or shredded coconut flakes. They taste like a delicious granola bar but in the more convenient and less crumbly format of a soft cookie. The perfect grab and go hit of protein and flavor, for breakfast, snack time, or a quick bite before heading out the door to do whatever it is you like to do! 

There has been much demand on my IG for baking recipes that are gluten free but contain egg, and this recipe satisfies that need. Be sure to use gluten free rolled oats and a gluten free flour blend. Purity protocol gluten free oats are different than regular oats which most likely have cross-contact with gluten, despite oats not being glutinous. That is why it is important to buy a brand that has been tested for purity and that can confirm there is no cross contact.  

One of the great things about this recipe is that these cookies are not overly sweet. I find, and I hear this a lot from others on the internet, that gluten free items can often be overly sweet. I personally love a less sweet treat, especially if enjoying it for breakfast.

Ingredients for Sunbutter Grab and Go Breakfast Cookies 

• 1 cup Sunbutter Natural Crunch Sunflower Butter 

• 1/4 cup solid fat such as coconut oil or vegan butter 

• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 

• 1/4 cup brown sugar 

• 2 large eggs

How to make Sunbutter Grab and Go Breakfast Cookies 

1. Whisk together the Sunbutter, coconut oil, vanilla, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. 

2. Whisk the eggs in one at a time.  

3. Add the salt, oats, flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and fold in all at once until the mixture forms a dough. 

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375F. 

5. Divide the dough into 8 large cookies, rolling each portion into a ball. Place the balls of dough evenly spaced out on the baking sheet, with at least an inch between each cookie to allow them room to rise. 

6. Bake for 8 minutes or until risen and golden brown. They should still be soft in the center.
