Breakfast cookies (squirrel cookie copycat)

Updated: May 1, 2023

There's a local shop that sells these incredible "squirrel cookies" that I absolutely adore. They're soft and chewy, and relatively healthy thanks to the abundance of nuts and seeds.


As someone who enjoys a peanut butter cookie with their morning coffee, I didn't want to sacrifice that indulgence in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. So, I set out to find a recipe that would give me a similar experience to the squirrel cookies. After scouring the internet, I came across the Bowl of Delicious breakfast cookie recipe, which I've now made a few hundred times. It's the perfect breakfast treat - full of nuts and seeds, and without any of the guilt.


The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of nuts and seeds, as well as another 3/4 cup of dried fruits. I've been using a mixed nut grab bag that I purchased at our local grocery store, but I would generally recommend almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. For the dried fruit, I prefer the chewiness of dried apricots, and I love to add a touch of sweetness with dried figs.



Ingredients:

  • 1 Banana, ripe

  • 3/4 cup Dried fruit

  • 1 Egg

  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup, pure

  • 1/4 cup Peanut butter

  • 1 cup Oats, old fashioned

  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, ground

  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt

  • 1/4 cup Whole wheat flour

  • 3/4 cup Nuts and/or seeds (i used pumpkin and sunflower seeds)

20 minutes at 350 degrees
