Cranberry Cherry Breakfast Cookies

Well it's been a long time since I've tried a new flavor of breakfast cookie... almost a year to be exact... but here it finally is. Another yummy treat perfect for a grab and go breakfast or a quick snack.

Inspired from my earlier post tropical breakfast cookie, here's a new flavor combination... Cranberry Cherry :)

These oat cookies can be any flavor you like really... Just change the dried fruit and the cup of fruit puree.

Start by mixing all the dry ingredients together

Then add in your wet ingredients

Mix to combine (looks much more normal now doesn't it?)

Shape cookies

And bake :)

Cranberry Cherry Breakfast Cookies

1 1/2   Cup Oatmeal

1 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

1/4 Cup Flax Seed (fine milled)

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

3/4 Cup Almonds (chopped)

1/3      Cup    Dried Cranberries
1/3      Cup    Dried Cherries (chopped)

1         Cup    Strawberry Applesauce

1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (melted)

1 Tbl. Agave Nectar

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

In a large bowl combine almonds with oatmeal, coconut flakes, flax seed, salt, and dried fruit.

Add applesauce to almond mixture along with coconut oil, agave nectar, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

Once things are mixed, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.

On cookie sheet, press 2 tablespoons of mixture into a 2-inch round cookie cutter to form each cookie. 

Bake at 350° for 25 - 30 minutes or until fragrant and golden. Cool on pan. You can bag two cookies in a snack bag and have them ready to grab and go.

Yields about 20 yummy oat cookies. The cookies are just lightly sweetened and semi tart. It's a great combination.
