These cookies are made with nourishing oats, nuts, seeds, and goji berries for superfood breakfast cookies that are healthy and delicious!

Superfood Breakfast Cookies

Okay, I know the words “cookie” and “breakfast” don’t usually go together. I’m here to change that with these wonderfully nourishing, healthy superfood breakfast cookies made with a gluten-free sourdough starter!

What You’ll Need to Make Oatmeal and Goji Berry Superfood Breakfast Cookies

This recipe is fairly simple, but you will need several ingredients.

These are the ingredients I used, but you can sub out the seeds for other types of nuts or seeds that you have. You can use honey instead of maple syrup and regular eggs if you’re not vegan.

  • Thick Rolled Oats
  • Buckwheat Flour
  • Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
  • Hemp Hearts
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Chia Seeds
  • Goji Berries
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Maple syrup
  • Sunflower Seed Butter (or any nut butter)
  • Vanilla
  • Gluten Free Sourdough Starter, or regular starter, or 1 egg, or an egg substitute.

Healthy Oatmeal and Goji Berry Breakfast Cookies

This is a healthy breakfast recipe! Oats, nuts, and seeds provide lots of fiber for healthy digestion. Nut butter and seeds also provide healthy fats and protein for a balanced breakfast.

I like using maple syrup in this recipe for a less processed sweetener option. Another thing I love about this recipe is the goji berries! Goji berries are an excellent source of antioxidants.

The Health Benefits of Oats

Oats’ claim to health food fame is mainly based on oats lowering bad cholesterol and adding beneficial fiber to meals.

Lower cholesterol + beta-glucan fiber = SUPER heart healthy. Plus, all that beta-glucan in oats is perfect for feeding the gut microbiome. Beta gluten is considered a prebiotic that can feed and nourish the gut microbiome.

Sourdough Oatmeal and Goji Berry Superfood Breakfast Cookies

These cookies are made with nourishing oats, nuts, seeds, and goji berries for superfood breakfast cookies that are healthy and delicious! These oatmeal and goji berry breakfast cookies are perfect for a protein-rich, on-the-go breakfast. They’re vegan and gluten-free and make the perfect afternoon snack too!

  • Prep: 10 minutes
  • Cook: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Wet

  • 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 Cup Sunflower Seed Butter
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/4 cup Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter*

Dry

  • 1 1/4 Cups Thick Rolled Oats
  • 1/4 Cup Buckwheat Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup Hemp Hearts
  • 1/4 Cup Sesame Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup Goji Berries
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Combine and whisk together the wet ingredients in a bowl. 
  3. Combine and whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl. 
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture. 
  5. Wet your hands with a bit of water. Grab about two tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the parchment paper and press down to shape it into a cookie shape (these won’t spread out like regualr cookies in the oven). Repeat for the remaining cookies. 
  6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes 

Notes

  • Alternative to GF sourdough starter, you can use an egg or vegan egg replacement. To make a flax egg for a vegan egg substitue, just add one tablespoon of ground flaxseed to three tablespoons of water.
  • You can use a regular egg in this recipe if you’d like.
  • You can sub the sunflower seed butter for any nut butter.

It can suppress overgrowth of Candida albicans, wh It can suppress overgrowth of Candida albicans, while boosting good bacteria in your gut! 

Roasting garlic increases beneficial garlic compounds like diallyl sulfide and diallyl disulfide — or DADS, for short. Both of these compounds have been studied for their anti-inflammatory (anti-cancer), antioxidant, and antifungal properties.

It’s definitely a sauerkraut you should keep in your rotation.

To get the recipe google “garlic sauerkraut.” and you’ll see mine it’s the first one.

https://doi.org/10.3390/fishes9100401 (diallyl disulfide (DADS) shows a substantial increase, with concentrations rising from 1.6 mg/g in non-fermented garlic to 4.8 mg/g in its fermented counterpart, suggesting enhanced bioactivity through fermentation)

I know, I know, I’m making everything with cottage cheese right now. But how can I not? Cottage cheese is one of the most protein-rich fermented foods.

If you love ice cream and cheesecake-like flavor, you’ll love this recipe. it’s high in protein, requires only four simple ingredients, and does not require churning. So, you do not need an ice cream maker!

A half-cup serving of this ice cream has 12 grams of protein, making it a healthy and balanced sweet snack. Get the recipe from the recipe index linked in my profile.

Why do you add water to sauerkraut? To that I as Why do you add water to sauerkraut? 

To that I ask: who told y’all you can’t add water to sauerkraut? 

Adding water standardizes my recipes, making sure everyone gets enough brine, regardless of cabbage variability. 

Google “cultured guru sauerkraut” and you’ll see my recipes!

Bok choy is similar in texture to Napa cabbage and Bok choy is similar in texture to Napa cabbage and lovely for fermentation. 

Since bok choy and all cabbages grow low and very close to the soil, their microbiome composition is wonderful! This makes all cabbages easy vegetables to ferment, and fermented bok choy is one of my absolute favorites.

Google fermented bok choy and you’ll see my recipe, it’s the first one. ☝🏼 #cabbage #fermentation #homestead 

Ps. I used some tiny weck jar lids for weights in my bigger weck jar and it worked great!
