Eggless Breakfast Cookies Recipe
Today I am talking about one of my mommy/wifey weapon for busy mornings: Eggless Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies!
As I mentioned before, our morning routine has changed a little. So I knew that I had to come up with some form of breakfast to go.
On the other hand, my other breakfast challenge is that my daughter has never been much of a breakfast person, and it is often a struggle to get her to eat much of anything in the morning. So when thinking about what to make I thought: she LOVES cookies, which happen to be very easy to transport. Bingo!! Breakfast cookies sounded like a perfect idea to try.
These Eggless Breakfast Cookies are hearty, full of goodness, and deeelish.
Over here, my family is obsessed with these cookies. My boy even asked: So now we can eat cookies for breakfast? Well…no any cookies, just this kind! LOL.
You’ll love them. They’re soft, loaded with nutrients and great textures. Not too sweet but sweet enough to help curb that sweet tooth, too!
They’re a deliciously healthy way to start off the day.

VARIATIONS YOU CAN APPLY TO THIS RECIPE
- You don’t like raisins? Just leave them out and try chocolate chips! YUM.
- You can also use any nut butter you like, such as peanut butter. This time I use cashew butter because I know is safe for my daughter, but can totally use another type of nut butter or No-Nut butter.
- Substitute honey for maple syrup for a less sweet version.
- If you don’t have apple pie spice handy, you can add 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground all spice
HOW TO STORE EGGLESS BREAKFAST COOKIES?
They’re best straight out of the oven but they also freeze incredibly well. Which means you can bake up a big batch of these Eggless Breakfast Cookies, freeze them, and take them out for a great breakfast on-the-go!
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

these are the best cookies i have ever made.
absolutely amazing!!!💕
Hello Ela! So glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know!
Is there any pantry staple you could suggest for a family that has seed and nut allergies for the cashew butter? I don’t want to invest in a jar of the “no nut butter” at the moment. Does the nut butter do anything to hold the cookie together or help with texture or could I just leave it out?
Thank you!
Hello Katie! I haven’t tested this recipe without the cashew butter or “no but butter”. However, if you feel like experimenting, you can try using 3 tablespoons of cream cheese + 1/4 cup oil (coconut, canola, or vegetable). If you do try using this alternative ingredients, please let me know the outcome. Thanks for your interest in my recipe.🙂
Can i use normal unsalted butter? we dont get cashew butter in india. Plz suggest
Hello Nirupa! I don’t think regular butter will work. However, you can use any nut or seed butter you have available. You can also make your own cashew butter. To make, simply add 2 cups raw cashews in a food processor or high powered blender, blend until smooth. Then add 1 tsp of coconut oil and process the cashew butter for another 5 minutes, or until desired consistency. Store in the refrigerator. Hope that helps!
These are great for breakfast and any-time snacks. My kitchen smelled amazing while these were in the oven! I reduced honey to 2 tbsp (1/8 cup) and added in 1/2 cranberries and 1/2 cup raisins. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Hello Christi! So glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much for trying my recipe recipe and for your feedback.
Hey. I tried them and they turned out really yummy. But I want to know at what temperature to bake and for how much time? I had to keep checking them every 5 mins since my first batch got burnt.
Hello Tarj! As the instructions say, bake at 350º F for about 15 minutes. Every oven is different so I would recommend using an oven thermometer to make sure it’s working properly. Hope this helps! xo- Ori
Have you tried this with regular rolled oats, not quick cooking?
Hello Jennifer! No, I haven’t. These are the one I use: https://amzn.to/2KBPuuj . Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it. ?
Hi Oriana,
I just tried out this and I loved the taste,although I am doubting whether i got the texture right,mine are soft and cakey. Is that right?
Thank you sharing this!
Hello Maithreyi! They are soft but not cakey. You can try to bake them for a couple more minutes next time to make them crunchy. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
