The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie :: Dairy, Egg, Gluten & Refined Sugar Free :: Nut & Grain Free Options

Sometimes school mornings make me wanna go…AHHH!

I only have *one* preschooler right now, but I have a 2 year old and a baby that have to tag along for school drop off, and that can make for a flat out busy start to the day.

The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie :: Dairy, Egg, Gluten & Refined Sugar Free :: Nut & Grain Free Options
One of my goals in the last couple years has been to show people that you don’t have to reach for the cereal box on busy school mornings. Boxed cereal (yes even organic ones!) are just plain toxic. There is barely any nourishment left after the grains are extruded. Kids need a lot of fuel after a whole night of sleep! If we expect them to function in school, we need to get them re-fueled for the day with more than just empty calories.

The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie :: Dairy, Egg, Gluten & Refined Sugar Free :: Nut & Grain Free Options
This recipe is so quick that you can make them in the morning right before school if you wanted. They also hold up great if you wanted to make a double batch on the weekend and pull them out of the freezer during the week.

The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie :: Dairy, Egg, Gluten & Refined Sugar Free :: Nut & Grain Free Options
I am really so proud of this recipe – and so excited to share it! I have worked so hard on making a breakfast cookie that met all my requirements. Healthy fats, filling protein, energizing carbohyrdrates…yummy taste! I have a nephew with egg allergies so I am always looking for ways of making things egg free for when he is around, and we are gluten free so I always have that base covered. There is also no dairy or refined sugar (although they are plenty sweet from the banana and raisins!). If your family can’t have nuts or grains (and I know that is so common these days!), I included options to swap just for you!

The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie

Breakfast cookies are great because your kids think they are getting a special treat, while you are also packing nutrition into their bodies.
Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Total Time20 mins
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Keyword: gluten-free breakfast cookie recipe, gluten-free breakfast cookies
Servings: 12 cookies
Author: Renee - www.raisinggenerationnourished.com

Ingredients

  • 2-3 bananas depending on the size you are looking for about 1 cup, mashed (or 1 cup applesauce – whatever you have!)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • ¼ cup white rice flour If you are grain free, use ¼ cup blanched almond flour or another ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • ½ cup peanut butter Or almond butter. If you are nut free use sunbutter – watch the ingredients though!
  • ½ cup crispy almonds crushed (OR get blanched almonds to crush, OR use blanched almond flour. If you are nut free use crushed sunflower seeds)
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup dried fruit raisins, dried cranberries or other dried fruit – whatever you have!
  • 2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
  • 1 TB cinnamon

Instructions

  • Everything into a mixing bowl and combine with a spatula – that’s it!
  • Make palm size balls (size of about a racquetball) and flatten into 1 inch discs on to a silpat lined baking sheet (or parchment paper lined). They don’t flatten out so make them about the size you want.
  • Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Tips:

    • This makes 6 large cookies. I most often double this recipe and store half in the freezer. If you want smaller cookies you could obviously do that. My 4 and 2 year olds eat a whole cookie with a glass of whole raw milk for breakfast. Occasionally I will give them half a cookie with a side of fried eggs or bacon instead. One cookie and milk fill me up pretty good as well, although lately I have a hardboiled eggs alongside as I am in a season of nursing a baby right now 😉
    • HERE is how to make crispy almonds! They are so yummy!
    • Wrap leftover cookies in plastic wrap for another weekday breakfast or pack it up in a lunchbox!
    • You can get coconut flour, tapioca flour, white rice flour, and shredded coconut on Amazon. Occasionally it is cheaper in the bulk section of my local health food store so I always check there first.
    • I get large bags of organic raisins and large containers of natural peanut butter at Costco.
    • If you have bananas going too ripe, but don’t have time to make the cookies right then, just throw them in a freezer bag in the freezer until you have time!
    • If you don’t have silpat for baking on…oh! You must treat yourself to making your baking adventures so much easier!
    • Be sure your baking powder says aluminum free – we don’t need to be pumping aluminum in our kiddos!

    Do you suppose coconut butter would work in place of the peanut/almond/sunbutter? This looks soooo fabulous!!

    • Reply Renee Kohley March 18, 2014 at 6:43 am

      Gosh Allison that is a great question! Coconut butter is a little more dense than a nut butter – if I were to do it I would add some coconut oil to the coconut butter to make it “feel” like the consistancy of a nut butter. Does that make sense? Let me know if you try it! That is a great idea and I will add your comment to the this post!

    Hi! Just found your site and i LOVE it! My little one has egg, almond and tapioca sensutivity… I know how to sub for almonds, but i am unsure about tapioca flour… We are grain and gluten free to help her overcome her food sensitivities, and i have never used tapioca anything… Why is it used in baking and can i leave it out and/or sub in some thing else? Thanks oh so much for your time;)

    • Reply Renee Kohley March 20, 2014 at 7:04 am

      HI Isa! Tapioca flour really helps with texture making things chewy and soft and since it is not a grain it is used a lot in recipes for those with allergies! BUT – that doesn’t help if you have a tapioca sensitiity does it! Well let’s see here…so we need to sub the 1/4 cup tapioca and 1/4 cup rice flour without using almond flour or a grain flour. I’m thinking coconut flour is the only option there. The texture isn’t going to be the same but your LO is probably used to it 🙂 I wouldn’t sub the whole 1/4 cup for each of those flours though – lets do 1/4 cup coconut flour to take care of both the tapioca and the rice flour and then you might need to add another banana or some applesauce to help with moisture and binding – I really think that should work. I was grain and nut free for a while too so I’m thinking that should work 🙂 Let me know if you try it out!

      And thank you for the kind words 🙂 Glad to have you here!

        Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I tried using coconut flour and homemade sun butter… they were a hit! And, yes, the texture was different, but they didn’t crumble at all (and that is winner in my book for an eggless and coconut flour cookie!). I used apple sauce and I was out of cinnamon and baking powder so I omitted those, I only had just a few raisings (less than 6 to be exact), and it all worked out really good… they were not too sweet, almost a bit “tangy’ from the applesauce, but we LOVED them!! THANK YOU!

        corn starch is a great substitute for tapioca starch with exactly the same result! another good substitute would be potato flakes (not butter flavored). I have had good luck with both of these items if I happen to run out and need to pinch hit with something else. I measure them 1-1 using the same amounts. I hope you find that it works well for you too.

      Arrowroot flour is a substitute for tapioca flour and corn starch. All 3 are thickeners that are interchangeable in baked goods.

    Made the cookies tonight and then realized they don’t have much fat in them, plus I would really like some eggs. I know you made this especially without eggs, but I’d really like to add some protein and fat. Have any suggestions on amounts for butter/coconut oil and eggs?

    • Reply Renee Kohley March 25, 2014 at 6:12 am

      Hi Sherri! Yeah I don’t usually serve the cookies without a big glass of raw milk for some fat/protien. The peanut butter/nuts give it some. You could do a couple things. Either take out the 2-3 bananas and add 2-3 eggs (you will want to add some raw honey or something to sweeten it up though). Or you could add a 2-3 eggs and another 1/4 cup or so of coconut flour to soak them up. Let me know how they turn out!

    • Reply Renee Kohley April 7, 2014 at 8:46 am

      Hi Barbra! There is quite a bit of the shredded coconut and it makes up a good bulk of the cookie so I would definitely replace it and not just leave it out. So you could do anything with the same texture! Maybe some blended sunflower seeds or nut? Or chia seeds? Does that help? Or even just a little more of one of the flours. Let me know what you try and if it works 🙂

    We’re working on an autoimmune issue right now and struggling to make anything like this (looks delicious!) because we have to omit eggs and coconut products right now. Do you have any suggestions on what we might be able to sub for the coconut and coconut flour? 6 weeks into this diet and it would be great to have something resembling a cookie!! =)

    • Reply Renee Kohley July 14, 2014 at 9:11 am

      Hi Stacey! I have so been there! Thanks for asking – yes let’s figure out a better concoction for you! If all you need to replace is the coconut stuff then I would replace the coconut flour with 1/2 cup of either rice flour, almond flour, or tapioca flour – do any of those work? And as far as the coconut flakes just leave them out and the mixture should still be fine – if it feels a little wet then add a bit more flour. Flax seed meal might work if you want to try that to replace and if you can have it. Let me know if that helps?

      • Reply Isa salgado July 14, 2014 at 10:15 am

        Im thinking arrowroot flour might work as a replacement, if your diet allows it.

    Thank you so much for this recipe! We are finishing an elimination diet to see what we can and cannot have. We are currently gluten free, egg free, oat free and partial nut free. I just cooked these today and it is the first cookie/bread item we have had in almost 3 months. It was amazingly simple and the directions were so easy to follow.
    We can’t eat almonds, so we used cashews and cashew butter. And we used dried figs as our dried fruit. The cookies turned out great and were delicious!

      Hi Jennifer! Yep that should work – you may need a little more since the coconut flour is pretty absorbent – the dough should be just like cookie dough – not too dry and not to wet. Hope that helps!

    I made the Ultimate Breakfast Cookie that you posted. I substituted the tapioca flour and white rice flour with extra almond flour and coconut flour since I didn’t have either the tapioca or white rice flour. I also didn’t add the dried fruit because my husband is a diabetic and I wanted something that didn’t have much sugar. I added 1 cup of unsweetened apple sauce instead of the bananas, also added 1/4 cup honey to give it a little sweeter taste. I was wondering if there is a website that I can go to that would tell the nutritional information for these cookies. Calories, protein, carbs, etc. Thanks!

    Hi! First of all, thank you for being so willing to work with the people that have sensitivities and need to sub for other thing – reading you try and help these people made me more excited to follow your blog. Secondly, thought maybe you could help me too – ok so I was thinking of doing this since we don’t do rice flour and also dont do bananas or applesauce. Can I Use 3 eggs instead of the 2-3 bananas/applesauce and then sub the 1/4 c rice flour for another 1/4c of coconut flour and add a bit of honey to sweeten this? Would this work or would a total of 1/2 a cup of coconut flour with 2-3 eggs make this all go wrong? Does this make sense?

    • Reply Renee Kohley January 24, 2015 at 7:18 pm

      Hi Claudia 🙂 The eggs will sub good for the fruit so yes that should be fine and then using the honey to sweeten is fine too. I would be careful adding anymore coconut flour as it is not an equal swap with any other flour – it is just too absorbent. You could sub a couple TB instead of the full 1/4 cup though if you want to try that. Or if you do the full 1/4 cup you will need more liquid like another egg or 2. Does that help?

      Hi Birthe 🙂 I’m not sure how the measurements would go with all purpose or WW since I don’t work with them much. I do have purpose in using the coconut flour since it has a good amount of fiber and other nutrients – I think you could get away with using all purpose for the rice flour and tapioca flour and then maybe leave the coconut flour in!

    Do these need to be refrigerated? I’m looking for healthy cookies that I can put into a cookie jar on the counter….at least ones that will last a few days at room temperature. Thanks in advance! They look tasty!

      Hi Hope! A few days at room temperature will be fine for these cookies! Fun idea 🙂 I would refrigerate after 5 days.

    Honestly I thought this would be a little icky and that I’d have to choke it down. I was so wrong! These are fantastic! Glad to see comments about using apples. I might mash various fruits to see what I come up with. This is awesome!

    HI! Love your blog and love your recipes! I notice that a lot of recipes call for tapioca flour. I’m not too familiar with tapioca starch. In the “real food” world, would it be considered a healthy type of food? Any ideas on what to replace it with other than almond flour (we probably wouldn’t do rice flour either, so I would sub that with almond flour). I could give tapioca a try. Just curious what your thoughts are. Thanks so much!!

      Hi Bess! Tapioca is taken from the cassava plant – it is a root vegetable. Many people in real food circles enjoy tapioca flour- it is a really safe veg and super gentle on digestion. In fact cassava plant is a great PRE-biotic to feed the good bacteria in our guts. Tapioca also lends a softness to gluten free baked goods making it feel more like it has some gluten in it 😉

    I have made spaghetti squash maybe 50 over the last few years. I tried your method today and this was by far the best way I have ever cooked it. The squash turned out perfectly! I couldn’t be happier and won’t cook it any other way now. Thank you.

    Just made these! I had some minor substitutions due to what I did and did not have on hand, and they still turned out fabulously! This is going to be my new go-to that I can adapt easily to what’s in the kitchen at the time.
