No Bake Granola Breakfast Cookies (gluten free with a paleo option)

Jump to Recipe

No Bake Granola Breakfast Cookies on metal baking sheet

Yup, I made cookies for breakfast.  These Granola Breakfast Cookies are a quick and easy, make-ahead breakfast treat or snack (no baking involved!!) They’re made with your fav granola and loaded with fresh fruit and yogurt. 

It’s summer, which means that I have an extra helper when I’m working.  My Little One has grown up in the Savory Lotus kitchen and is my favorite extra set of hands for photo shoots. As with most moms who work from home, I have to get creative and flexible during summer in order to get my work done.

I’m not usually a granola girl in the mornings.  If I have a bowl of my  Paleo Hazelnut and Cacao Granola or Pumpkin Spice Granola (both gluten and paleo), it’s most likely going to be as little sweet snack in the afternoon.  But after seeing several versions of granola pizza floating around Pinterest, I had the idea to create a smaller version that could pass for a breakfast cookie loaded with all of the fabulous summer fruit that’s in season right now.

Don’t judge.  It’s not like we eat cookies for breakfast every day.  And I have to admit, these little beauties are pretty fun to eat.

Here’s why I love No Bake Granola Breakfast Cookies:

….no bake. Less than 10 minutes to throw together.

….make ahead.  This recipe makes 4-6 breakfast cookies that will be waiting in the freezer for you to enjoy.

….your fav granola.  Make your own.  Buy your fav.  Gluten and grain free, if that’s your jam.  No added sweeteners, if you like.

….creamy yogurt.  I opt for a plain dairy free, but you can use whatever yogurt makes you happy.

….all the summer fruit and berries.  Because summer fruit and berries is EVERYTHING!

….versatile.  Your cookie.  Your way.  The topping possibilities are endless.

….happiness.  Because hello….cookies for breakfast.  Or brunch.  Or anytime you feel like it.

I’ve made these cookies with both of the granolas I mentioned above.  I’ve also made them with a store-bought gluten and grain free granola.  THIS is my favorite paleo brand.

The bottom line: these granola breakfast cookies are fabulous.  Kids love them for breakfast. They make a fun and healthy brunch addition.  And they make an easy snack when you don’t have a ton of time.

And they are so incredibly tasty!

xo,

Katja

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of your favorite granola (THIS is my fav gluten and grain free paleo granola)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (like this)
  • 1/4 cup nut butter of any kind (or sunflower seed butter or tahini)

TOPPINGS

  • plain, unsweetened dairy free yogurt (or any yogurt that you love)
  • fresh fruit and berries
  • chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.
  2. In a food processor, pulse granola 3-4 times to break up any big clumps. Place granola into a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. Melt coconut oil in a double boiler or small pot.  Turn off heat and add nut butter.  Stir until creamy smooth.
  4. Pour wet mixture over granola and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Scoop out mixture onto prepared baking sheet with either a 1/3 cup scoop or 1/2 cup scoop (depending on how big you want your cookies.)  You will get 4-6 cookies total.  Using your fingers, press each scoop into a round cookie shape, pressing the center of the cookies a bit lower so that the toppings will stay in place better.
  6. Place into freezer to harden, for at least 45 minutes.  Once cookies are set, remove from freezer, spread yogurt over cookie and top with your favorite fruit/berries and pistachios.  Enjoy immediately.
  7. Store cookies in freezer in a tightly sealed container until ready to serve.

Notes

  • These breakfast cookies will get soft at room temperature.  They are meant to be eaten straight out of the freezer.
  • I used almond butter for the recipe pictured here.  You can use any nut or seed butter that you love. Sunflower seed butter and tahini are both delish.

  • 💗 We choose to live below our means.

💗 We don’t buy things we can’t pay for. We don’t carry debt to maintain a lifestyle. We don’t feel the need to buy the latest brand name or keep up with what everyone else has.

💗 We try to be intentional with our spending, asking ourselves whether something actually adds value to our lives — or whether we’ve simply been conditioned to want it.

💗 We invest in things that align with our values, including our future selves.

💗 And we’ve learned to value things that can’t be bought more than the things that can.
  • Lake life is the life for me…. 🚣‍♂️👙🏊• slow days with sweet friends doing what we love ❤️
  • 💗 the older i get, the less interested i am in building a life that looks good from the outside • i’d rather build one i genuinely love living 

💗 this is my kind of vacation:

* a quiet lake
* my favorite people
* time outside 
* simple meals 

💗 nothing fancy 

💗 i think the  best parts of taking ownership of your life is realizing you get to decide what a good life looks like 

💗 spending time with BOTH of my girls is EVERYTHING  to me
  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
