    These oat-based unbaked cookies are great for breakfast on the go, a mid-afternoon treat, or a post-workout snack. They’ve got a lot going for them—nut butter, seeds, and dried fruits. And they’re also gluten-free (if using GF oats) and oil-free!

    One cookie on its own makes for a filling breakfast. But if you're extra hungry, you can pair them with a smoothie or even a veggie scramble.

    How to Make No-Bake Breakfast Cookies

    1. Process oats in a food processor.
    2. Remove oats and mix with other dry ingredients.
    3. Process wet ingredients together.
    4. Mix together wet and dry.
    5. Press mixture into muffin tins.
    6. Chill, then store or serve.

    Full directions for how to make No-Bake Breakfast Cookies are in the printable recipe card below.

    Variations to No-Bake Breakfast Cookies

    Chocolate Cookies

    To make chocolate cookies, omit the cinnamon. Instead, add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon cacao nibs.

    Fruity Cookies

    Get your fruit on by swapping the applesauce in this recipe for mashed, ripe banana. You can also swap out the cherries for whatever dried fruit you prefer. Use whatever fruits you have on hand!

    Sweetened Cookies

    If you prefer, you can replace the vanilla-flavored stevia in the recipe for maple syrup. Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup plus ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and adjust to taste from there.

    Seedy Cookies

    If you don’t have or don’t want to use teff, use additional hemp or chia seeds. The seeds will give you that same nutty, earthy flavor and texture that the cookies need.

    Here are more vegan breakfast recipes. You can also try some of our other no-bake and raw sweets!
