Whole Food Plant Based Breakfast Cookies

Oh, the eating mandates:

• Eat breakfast.
• More vegetables, too.
• Don’t forget about protein, you need more.
• Heaps more fiber, too.
• Cut back on your sugar intake.
• Add omega fatty acids to your diet.

Good grief! It can be overwhelming. Even more so if you need to be out of the front door by 7 am.

I’m here to help. Specifically, with my Vegan Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, made with chickpea flour and baked in a muffin tin. Eat one, or two, and check off all of the items on the above list.

Most of all, these muffin tin cookies satisfy the most important breakfast mandate: delicious.

Vegan Breakfast Cookies with Minimal Sugar & No Oil

In addition to being grain-free, gluten-free and vegan, these moist, perfectly sweet treats are also oil-free and nut-free The key is the combination of lots of carrots, unsweetened applesauce, and flaxseed meal.

I added a small amount of raisins, too; I like to chop them up before adding, which allows me to use a small amount while still delivering the sweet bits throughout. You can use any other dried fruit in their place, or leave them out entirely.

I added a sprinkle of hemp hearts (only about a teaspoon total; it doesn’t take much) for a touch of crunch and added beauty; add them or leave them out as you like!

Decadent, frugal, portable, packed with power, this just may be the carrot cake of your power hungry dreams.

Happy baking!
