I was so happy when I found the recipe for these Paleo Breakfast Cookies from the preppy paleo.
The first recipe I tried was for pumpkin breakfast cookies. They are grain free and are sweetened with just 1/4 cup or pure maple syrup or raw honey. I do use dark or semisweet chocolate mini chips--the sugar free ones are just too nasty and I only use a small amount. There is no butter or oil either, they contain almond butter--I make my own in the food processor using blanched almonds with a little bit of maple syrup or honey for moisture--just process until it becomes butter. If you eat peanuts--you could always sub out peanut butter, but this has a much stronger flavor. I've also used sunbutter (from sunflower seeds). Just a note--sunflower seeds and butter tends to turn green when it's baked--don't be alarmed!!!
I eat one or two of these cookies for breakfast when I don't have time for anything else. And let me tell you, they are a much healthier alternative to most cereals out there. I pack them with unsweetened shredded coconut, flax seed meal, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and more. You can make them a little different each time by what you use as your "add -ins." They are also a great snack. I keep them in my fridge.
The recipe I made more recently was for Paleo Banana Breakfast cookies. Instead of pumpkin, mashed banana is used and there is no added sweetener! Again I used the chocolate chips, coconut and flax seed meal, but this time I added raisins and chopped pecans. Yummy!
Lastly, is the original recipe that contains 1 cup of almond butter ( a bit more $$$) along with the 1/4 c. of maple syrup or honey:
Sorry I missed yesterday--you know, crazy time of the year....
