Cookies just make every day better don’t they? I mean, obviously cookies are one of the best vegan gluten free breakfast recipes out there…
But still… What would you say if I told you there was a vegan breakfast cookies recipe made especially for starting the day right? Alright, I really DO need to stop asking questions… don’t I? 😉 These awesome blossom Good Morning Breakfast Cookies do exactly what you think they do… based on the name. Ahem.
Vegan Gluten Free Breakfast: Energy Cookies!
Plate of Good Morning Breakfast Cookies = Good Morning. Like with these Healthy Coconut Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies: good vegan breakfast cookies = good morning! 😉
Oooooooh, yeah. But before I get into that, let me tell you all about the thrilling adventures of my super-duper (read: mildly boring, but pleasant) life. I promise this has something to do with how my vegan gluten free breakfast cookie recipe came about. 😉
About a year ago, Erik and I moved to Maine. From California. Yup, there needed to be a period in between those two. As you can probably imagine, it was a big shock, culturally and all of the other –allys. I’ll shower you with all of that shocking goodness on another occasion. In any case, we moved across the country and decided it was just time to pretty much purge everything.
Like, EVERYTHING. For reals.
Gluten Free Breakfast Cookies Recipe: The Inspiration!
We moved with just four large suitcases and two little ones (carry-on friendly). And ZERO vegan gluten free breakfast cookies. Lol. Imagine the shock of moving from California to Maine, coupled with the shock of having almost no material things. Dude. Right?
But Erik and I are pretty prone to adventurous, bold moves. That probably sounds kind of conceited or something, but what I really mean is that we get The Itch. Anyone feel me?
Sometimes, you just have to do something BIG to start fresh.
Anyway, with said bold move having been completed, we then had to do the Bold Move Follow-up Procedure. Which is basically the What The Frack Did We Just Do? Procedure, and the even more impressive Oh, Crap Procedure.
So imagine, the two of us sitting (on the floor, of course) of our new apartment, surrounded by those four (now not lookin’ so large) “large” suitcases and two teeny-tiny suitcases. Woah. Boldness was never so frightening.
Life without a delicious vegan gluten free breakfast was never so far…
Vegan Breakfast Cookies Recipe… So Close!
Worse, we were waaaay past hungry and rushing headfast into hangry. You guys, we didn’t even know where the friggin grocery store was–let alone any vegan breakfast cookies! As you can imagine, those early days were filled with the saddest, most pathetic breakfasts there ever was:
Cold cereal. With sink water.
Yes, sink water. I hang my head in shame. Have pity on us, we didn’t even have plates!! Now if you weren’t already judging us for the sink water, you are surely now judging us for the bowl-less cold cereal. I mean, it was no bowl of warm vegan gluten free breakfast energy cookies. That’s for sure!
Meanwhile, those days are long-gone (we have not one, but four bowls now—jazz hands!). No more days without a yummy, warm vegan gluten free breakfast. Most of all… no more days with this good morning vegan breakfast cookies recipe. 🙂
Nowadays, the kitchen is the most populated room in the apartment because… there just happen to be TWO food-obsessed occupants, and everything’s all good. But not too cramped.
These Good Morning Breakfast Cookies are my way of saying, “What’s up now, Bowl-less Cold Cereal with Sink Water?! What’s up now??” How do you like these gluten free breakfast cookies?!
You see, we not only picked up more things for the apartment, we also gained a stunningly rich and highly-developed sense of maturity.
You ready for this?

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

Add-in Ingredients
- ½ cup almonds, finely chopped

Absolutely delicious!
Thanks Julie! 🙂
I think “sink water” is the saddest phrase in the English language, but LOOK how far you have come! COOKIES FOR BREAKFAST. That is going from the ridiculous to the sublime in a nutshell…and now you have made cookies for breakfast a legit healthy thing, so I send you great big hugs! Pinning!
Yep… it’s official! Haha. Ya know, that’s a really great way of looking at this situation. Thanks Kate (for the positive outlook and the pin!)! xoxo
Totally trying not to crack up at sink water. Yikes!! I’ve moved 9 (9!!) times in my life including across countries twice so I completely understand. Thank God that’s past, right? Now breakfast is, as you put it, Plate of Good Morning Breakfast Cookies = Good Morning. This is so true! Breakfast cookies, whenever I make them, place such a huge smile on my face. I love the look of yours and that you incorporated so much coconut into it!
LOL. Feel free to crack up! My faux pas might as well bring some joy to others. 😉 9 times!! Woah! Someday, I’d love to hear all about your interesting travels. Side note: I’m not gonna lie, my number is pretty high as well. Thanks so much for stopping by Jessica! <3
I was born ready for cookies like this one ?
It’s good to be bold and adventurous, YOLO right? But I can’t imagine you guys ended up eating cold cereal with sink water because of that. How did you even ate that?! Haha! ?
Nevertheless, I’m happy to hear that you’re okay now, I’d be happy to hang out in your kitchen! And now you’ll be eating these breakfast cookies happily instead of that cold cereal with sink water ?
Haha. Wohoo for cookies! So YOLO. That’s my mom’s new catchphrase, and I fully believe in it! 🙂 Well Sheryl, you’ll eat almost anything when you’re hungry. lol. Kitchen time with two bakers sounds like a ton of fun! Thanks, Sheryl! xo
Vegan and gluten-free? You have my attention! Good Morning Cookies? I’m with you! Love every ingredient of them, so now they’re on my to do list, maybe even before the brownies 🙂 . It was such a nice read, Demeter, very brave of you too! Well, I moved from Rome to Edmonton, Canada, for love 🙂 .
Wohoo! Loreto did tell me that you adore V and GF goodies–I was thinking you might like these. 😉 Rome to Canada?!? WOW!! How was the move?
Shocking and beautiful at the same time 😉 .
That sounds wonderful. 🙂 Thanks for telling me about it, Nicoletta. <3
Oh my goodness, these are so cute, Demeter. Love them! Well, I can eat cookies for all my meals only if they are so good like these. Nothing can a breakfast cookie for sure. I admire you for making such a big move. 🙂
Thanks for your comments, Anu! Cookies make any meal better, don’t they? 🙂
Breakfast cookies, what a great idea! Especially with all those nuts inside! Though I have to admit, I normally prefer savoury breakfasts, I would love to have them as a second breakfast or breakfast dessert 😉
Funny story about moving. We moved last summer with my boyfriend to a new city, also with just a few things (all fit in a car/mainly plants). Sold everything before, so we can have a fresh start. I felt we are so brave, but hey, we only moved two hours away from the previous city. 😀 You two moving across the country is a whole new level. But I am pretty sure that it was an awesome decision at the end – except for the sink water cereal!!!!! It’s so nasty and unforgivable!!! 😀
Second breakfast sounds like an awesome idea, Evi! 😉 You two were incredibly brave! Distance and amount of things can’t measure or capture the emotions of moving, ya know? Yep, good to leave things behind; not good having sink water with cereal. LOL. So cool to learn more about you Evi! <3
Sounds like a crazy, but fun move! I actually like cereal with water (weird!) 🙂 I’ve been struggling with breakfast ideas and these cookies look perfect!
It was! How interesting! I’ll have to file that under Interesting Facts About Mira. 🙂 Thanks Mira!
I about cried when I read your story of moving from California to Maine! lol! No seriously, my eyes did well up and that’s only because I moved from Florida to Maine, brought all my stuff with me and still went through a crazy culture shock that I don’t think I’ve recovered from! If I moved anywhere, without all of my “things”, then I don’t think I could stand life. It’s like not having a security blanket. Kudos to you and Erik for purging everything except this wonderful breakfast cookie recipe. I love cookies any time of day, but especially for breakfast. Breakfast cookies are the best!
Karrie… I’m sorry! Let’s start a crazy culture shock from Maine club–we can discuss how out of place we felt (or have felt in the past). I’m glad that you’re happily settled in New Hampshire now. 🙂 Thanks Karrie! <3
I’m the furthest thing from bold! I could never move across the country like that. So jealous of how brave you are 🙂 If I did anything like that, I’d have to have a huge plate of these breakfast cookies – they’re gorgeous 🙂
Aw, thanks Megan! I’m sure you’re a lot braver than you think. 😉 Let’s have a huge plate of these cookies, anyway! 🙂
