Cookies for breakfast? Yes! When you serve whole-grain breakfast cookies, you enjoy a delicious and healthy start to your day. These flavorful cookies combine the whole grains of wheat and oats with natural sweeteners and a bit of fruit. Does breakfast get any better?

Need a vegan version? Just substitute the egg with a flax egg. A flax egg? What is that?
Looking for an egg substitute?
Yes, we’ve included that, too. If you are looking to lower your cholesterol and add some hefty omega 3s, consider using a flax egg substitute in place of the egg in our cookies. We’ve included the recipe to make a flax egg below the recipe, itself.
Can I reduce the sugar, too?
Of course! We recommend trying a natural sugar substitute such as Allulose or Swerve. Both can be used in equal amounts to normal granulated sugar. Additionally, neither will raise your blood sugar levels as table sugar does.
