Cookies for breakfast? Yes, please! And they’re vegan? Even better!

I’ve seen recipes before that were breakfast cookies but hadn’t ever tried them. I wasn’t sure how healthy they would be and I like to start the day off properly as much as we can. It also seemed like a lot of work to make cookies in the morning when we don’t have a lot of time on school mornings.

These vegan breakfast cookies can be made ahead of time and last for a few days in the refrigerator. You can heat them up before serving or eat cold. By changing out some of the ingredients from recipes I’d seen, I was able to make these vegan-friendly. You could also make them gluten-free if you use the right type of oats.

Vegan Breakfast Cookies Step by Step

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats

Scoop about 1 tbsp of mixture for each cookie onto a cookie sheet or baking stone. Note: they can be close together since they don’t spread.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until set.

Remove from the oven and leave on the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Leftovers

Store the vegan breakfast cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to 5 days this way. I like to eat them cold straight from the fridge, but you could also pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm up again.

Vegan Breakfast Cookies FAQs

Do I have to use almond butter?

No, you can substitute with any other butter. If you want these to be nut-free, try using sunflower butter. Peanut butter would also work if you can have that.

Why vegan chocolate chips?

Regular chocolate chips contain milk. We wanted to keep these vegan, so used dairy-free vegan chocolate chips.

Where do I buy vegan chocolate chips?

You can find them in most grocery stores down the baking aisle. They are typically with other baking chocolate. Otherwise, try looking in the health-food area of your store.

  1. im not a good cook, to be fair I can say I’m a terrible cook but I`m surely going to try these out, with the clear and step by step explaining you did, I think I can pull this one off, maybe burned a bit because it seems I can`t even set the oven temperature right but this is a must try for me.
    Thanks so much for sharing, I really appreciate the way you explain things.

  2. I don’t think I have ever had vegan cookies before, but I would love to try these. They sound like they would be super tasty and amazing.

  3. I made this with peanut butter instead of almond butter and it was delicious! Perfect for a healthy breakfast snack next to my coffee.

  4. 5 stars
    These cookies look delicious and I would love to try them. They make vegan look delicious for sure and I am pinning this one to make for myself 😉

  5. These look so good and so easy to make! Love breakfast ideas you can make ahead this way when I’m running late I can just grab them and go! (Plus love that you use almond butter rather than peanut butter, which everyone uses and I can’t stand!)

  6. I am going to pin this on Pinterest because I love finding simple ingredient recipes even though I am not vegan. I have all of those ingredients in my kitchen right now. I would love to have an easy go-to recipe for when I am craving something sweet that I can whip up in a pinch.
