Apple Pie in Breakfast Form aka Apple Pie Breakfast Cookies!

Green apples, red apples, apples that are kinda like the sunset… Which ones are your favorite? I personally don’t care what color the apples are, as long as they’re crispy and juicy! For today’s sweet breakfast treat, we’re going to transform breakfast cookies into something that tastes like a cross between a classic dessert and a healthy oatmeal breakfast salute. Ready to make apple pie breakfast cookies? Let’s go!

Everything You Need to Make Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

One of the many things you’ll love about these oatmeal breakfast cookies is the ingredients. They’re simple, wholesome, and include a few swaps, just in case you don’t have the usuals on hand.

  • Apples
  • Walnuts or pecans
  • All purpose flour or oat flour
  • Rolled oats
  • Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves
  • Vegan butter or coconut oil
  • Coconut sugar + maple syrup
  • 1 flax egg or egg of choice
  • Baking powder, salt, vanilla

How to Make Healthy Breakfast Cookies That Taste Like Apple Pie

How does one squeeze the yummy, juicy, spiced, and cozy tart-sweet goodness of apple pie into one breakfast cookie recipe? Allow me to show you how—completely guilt-free.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, then grab some parchment paper or foil and line a baking sheet.
  2. Whisk all the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. You’ll use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir and fold everything together to create the base batter for your healthy breakfast cookies.
  5. Now, to add the apples! Pour your finely chopped apples into the breakfast cookies base, then fold the apples in until they’re wonderfully incorporated.
  6. Grab a cookie scoop and scoop away! You’ll scoop and drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, press down onto each cookie to flatten.
  7. Slide the cookie sheet into the oven and bake cookies for about 14 minutes.
  8. Next, slide the hot baking sheet onto a cooling rack. Allow the breakfast cookies to cool for about 5 minutes on the sheet—this lets the cookies firm up a bit, so they’re not too fragile to handle. Now, slide the cookies directly onto the rack to finish cooling.
  9. Enjoy the yummiest apple pie breakfast cookies!

Satisfying, chewy oats, juicy pieces of apple, and heart-healthy walnuts all combine into one delectable breakfast cookie recipe.

These apple pie breakfast cookies are one of my favorite morning treats because they’re packed with nourishing ingredients, just the right amount of sweet (not too much to be overbearing for the morning, not too little that they’re a chore to eat), and they have this incredible, satisfying texture.

Description

Deliciously chewy oats, crunchy walnuts and soft, sweet apple bits come together for hearty and healthy breakfast cookies that taste like apple pie and breakfast oatmeal in one delicious treat! Vegan-friendly.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups ap flour or oat flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned, rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons melted vegan butter or coconut oil
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 10 mins) or egg or choice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Fold-in Ingredients

  • ¾ cup very finely chopped apples
  • ½ cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped (or ¼ cup walnuts and ¼ cup raisins for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: melted vegan butter or coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax egg, and vanilla.
  4. Pour dry ingredients over the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir and fold with a rubber spatula until very well mixed, making sure no flour patches remain.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold apples into the dough, until well incorporated. Fold in walnuts and raisins, if using.
  6. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness—mine was about 1/3” thick.
  7. Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 minutes.
  8. Move baking sheet onto a cooling rack to allow cookies to set for about 5 minutes. Then, using a heatproof spatula, lift and transfer cookies directly onto a cooling rack. Cool cookies for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!

    Will Bob’s red mill 1 to 1 gluten free work in place of flour?

      Hi Jody! I haven’t tried that one in this particular recipe, but I know some readers have used it in other recipes of mine with good results. So it should be fine. If you do try it, I’d love to hear how they turn out!

      Hi Hannah. I haven’t tried it here, but I’ve had some readers use honey, brown rice syrup or agave in other recipes, and they’ve reported good results. If you try one of these, I’d love to know how they turned out!

    Can you use applesauce to replace some of the coconut oil?

      Hi Rita! I haven’t tried it myself, but if you do I would recommend only replacing a bit at first so that you can fine tune and find the consistency that suits you best. Hope this helps!
