Chocolate Peanut Butter Superfood Breakfast Cookies

These superfood breakfast cookies are the definition of winning. They are dairy-free, sweetener-free, gluten-free, low-carb cookies that are packed with nutrients. Oh, and they are also chocolate peanut butter.

Chocolate peanut butter cookies that you can eat for breakfast? And still feel good about your choices? Winning.

In my pregnancies I came to depend on these cookies, and I mean that literally. I always had a batch of them in the fridge and they were my go-to for snacks or breakfast.

In fact, I would actually take two of the superfood breakfast cookies and make them and make them into a peanut butter sandwich.

What? This girl loves PB.

Also, my kids devour them. So there’s that. If you are looking for a healthy superfood breakfast cookie that you can feed to your littles—or even your big kids—give this recipe a try. (Read Why My Toddler Eats Everything for more healthy eating tips.)

Adaptable Recipe (For the Adventurous Baker)

These superfood breakfast cookies are a very flexible recipe. In fact, in the dozens of times I have made them I have almost never followed instructions. I only started to tweak and keep notes when I realized the recipe was too good to keep to myself.

Occasionally I leave out the chocolate and make them vanilla cranberry. Sometimes I add half a cup of unsweetened applesauce. Once in a while I put in stevia, ground flax, or switch up the superfood powders. Regardless, they have always turned out.

I know—If you want a sexy cookie that looks good on a tea tray, umm, maybe look elsewhere. If you want something flavourful, sustaining, delightful, and full of nutrients then these are the superfood breakfast cookies for you.

Quick note: these cookies are not keto thanks to the bananas and oats. I do know that I was able to use this recipe as part of a healthy low-carb diet when I was gestationally diabetic. Make sure to use your own sense of what functions for your body and your health situation.

A Quick Note on Hemp Hearts (Hemp Seeds)

If you are unfamiliar with hemp hearts, no need to be wary.

Hemp Hearts are an incredible superfood—they are really, really good for you. You can purchase them on Amazon—I use and trust this Canadian-grown brand. They are legal to consume, and don’t contain THC (Read: won’t make you high).

While researching this article I learned that, until 2018, growing hemp for anything other than research purposes was illegal in the United States. Hence, most hemp products came from Canada. Interesting.

The potential confusion around hemp products is understandable, but just read about the benefits and you’ll soon be convinced. I don’t hesitate to eat hemp hearts for myself, or for my kids.

I love learning about the things that I write about. It’s one of the main reasons I started Growing Wild Roots. So thanks for that rabbit hole.
