These vegan blueberry almond oat breakfast cookies are packed with vitamin E, fiber, protein, healthy fats, and just the right\u00a0amount of sweetness. Flecked with chewy wild blueberries and crunchy almonds, they're just as tasty as they are nourishing.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

I've always been one for pushing the boundaries of breakfast. Whether it's with jammy bars<\/a>, chocolate-covered biscotti<\/a>, or even pizza<\/a>, I believe (breakfast) rules were made to be broken.<\/p>\n

The original cherry version of these breakfast cookies appeared in my book, and it's one of the book recipes that's received the most praise.<\/p>\n

It's easy to fall in love with a breakfast recipe that's (1) made in advance, (2) easily transported for on-the-go enjoyment, and (3) tastes and looks like dessert.<\/p>\n

This blueberry almond remix of those original breakfast cookies tastes a whole lot like Blueberry Crisp Clif Bars. You know the ones I'm talking about?<\/p>\n

Only these cookies offer a nuttier flavor and contain way less ingredients than those. Not shaming\u2014after all, I like a good vegan bar as much as the next gal\u2014just stating facts.<\/p>\n

These cookies require just eight ingredients (plus water + salt) and about 25 minutes to make. The batch makes 12 cookies. If you consider two cookies a breakfast meal, that'll get you through nearly an entire week of breakfasts.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

To make these breakfast cookies, you'll start by creaming together a bit of coconut sugar or raw cane sugar, almond butter, and vanilla.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a glower glycemic breakfast, opt for coconut sugar. With a glycemic index (GI) of about 35, it's considered a low-GI sweetener. Pairing it with fiber-rich oats, almond butter, and almonds means these cookies will keep blood sugar levels steady.<\/p>\n

I quite adore the crispy caramelized edges that raw cane sugar creates in these cookies, so I've been opting for that sweetener as of late.<\/p>\n

Both sugars work great, just be sure to read the recipe notes for a tip about the baking soda. You'll need to adjust the amount depending on which sugar you use.<\/p>\n

Next, whisk together oat four, rolled oats, baking soda, and sea salt. Add it to the mixing bowl with the creamed almond butter and sugar. Then, pour a bit of filtered water over top and beat until incorporated.<\/p>\n

Stir or gently beat in the dried wild blueberries and almonds.<\/p>\n

FYI: Dried wild<\/em> blueberries have a much bolder flavor than ordinary dried blueberries. They also tend to be more tender and tiny than regular dried blueberries, which is why they're so lovely in these cookies.<\/p>\n

Once the blueberries and almonds have been incorporated, use a cookie scoop (or a spoon) to gather and compact two-tablespoon mounds of the dough. Drop each mound on a lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Bake the cookies for 10 to 14 minutes, or until golden and wafting a toasted scent.<\/p>\n

These cookies don't spread a whole lot during baking, so go by color to assess doneness.<\/p>\n

Let the cookies cool completely on the pan before moving or enjoying. Oat-based cookies are tender when warm, so avoid shuffling or moving them around until they're cool.<\/p>\n

These are extra tasty paired with a cup of hot coffee or tea. Brings out the nuttiness and sweetness, too.<\/p>\n

I hope you love these vegan blueberry almond oat breakfast cookies as much as I do. If you make this recipe, let me know! Leave a comment, rate it, and don\u2019t forget to tag a photo #blissfulbasil<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n
