Biscoff Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

These Biscoff oatmeal breakfast cookies are made of all the best things. Using simple ingredients (and not much time), this recipe will have you enjoying chewy oatmeal cookies for breakfast in no time.

Could there be any breakfast better than biscoff oatmeal breakfast cookies? We think not!

First of all: Biscoff. Enough said. But if we need say more, let us point out the fact that yes, you CAN eat cookies for breakfast. Especially when they're healthy like these ones!

We love these cookies for so many reasons, but one major factor in our obsession is that they're basically just a new way to eat oatmeal, which is already an awesome brekkie.

But, wait. They're so much more than your average oatmeal. These cookies are:

• Super simple
• Perfectly soft
• Full of mostly-healthy ingredients (minus the Biscoff, but I'll get to that)
• Very satisfying.

If you've ever wanted to indulge your sweet tooth first thing in the morning, these breakfast cookies are your answer.

But Wait. What is Biscoff, and Is It Healthy?

If you don't know what biscoff is by now, we are delighted to enlighten you. It's a peanut butter-esque spread made of Lotus biscoff cookies - you know, those little coffee biscuits that are sometimes served with coffee or tea.

If you live in the US, you may have tried cookie butter from Trader Joe's, and biscoff spread is pretty much the same thing.

Now let's look at the nutrition facts. One serving of biscoff spread (15g) contains 88 calories, 8.5g carbs, 5.7g fat, and 0.4g protein, and 5.5g sugar. So, it's not exactly the most nutritious thing out there. However, we tend to think that eating the sweets you like in moderation is sometimes a healthy way to go about it.

If having some biscoff in your breakfast satisfies your sweet tooth later on in the day, maybe those 15g of biscoff will be healthier in the long run than, say, the Mars bar you might feel inclined to reach for after lunch if you hadn't satisfied that sweet tooth.

Of course, it's up to you! And if the idea of something super sweet in the morning is off-putting, you can totally just leave it out or use a nut butter instead.

Biscoff Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie Ingredients

The amazing thing about these biscoff oatmeal breakfast cookies is that they require very few ingredients to come together. In fact, you might already have everything you need to make them:

• Banana: Banana adds sweetness to these cookies, so choose one that's nice and ripe!
• Oats: Rolled oats are the base of the cookies. we used old-fashioned oats, but quick oats should work nicely too.
• Chocolate chips: we used a sugar-free, vegan chocolate chips from Noshu, in this and they worked perfectly. Any kind will work well though!
• Lotus biscoff spread: The secret indulgence in these cookies. As we mentioned above, you can also leave it out, but we think it gives these cookies a sweet caramel-ish flavour.
• Chia seeds: Just a teaspoon of chia seeds a little more nutrition to these breakfast cookies, while helping bind everything together.
