I was trying to make my favorite healthy cookie into more of a breakfast cookie. I mean it could count as one as is, but I wanted to make some cookies with Muesli. Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Muesli has some fun and interesting ingredients that I thought might work well with this recipe. Be sure to check labels for special diets when purchasing Muesli.
As it turns out the cookies are really good with the Muesli. I’ve made them twice this week using two different kinds of Muesli. Both had a good portion of oats. Most Muesli consists of oats, various nuts and seeds, dried fruit, and sometimes other added grains like amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa. Experiment a little and see what you like.
Perfect Healthy Cookie For:
- Snacking
- Packing on a hike
- Carrying along on a long bike ride
- As an afternoon pick-me-up
I love chocolate so I decided to include semi-sweet chocolate chips in my breakfast cookies along with my favorite dried wild blueberries.
I would say these cookies have got a few good things going for them:
- Fiber,
- Protein
- Naturally sweetened

- Spotted bananas
