No-Oat Breakfast Cookies (Nuts & Seeds)

PCOS-friendly, grain-free breakfast cookies made with nuts & seeds. Sweetened with banana, they’re a blood sugar-friendly, portable snack ready in 25 minutes.

  • Total Time: 25
  • Yield: 8-10 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond flour (super-fine)
  • ½ cup Raw sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup Raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1 tbsp Ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water
  • 1 Ripe medium banana, mashed
  • 2 tbsp Natural almond butter (drippy)
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Sea salt
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Pure maple syrup or 2 drops liquid stevia

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a tray with parchment.
  2. Flax Egg: Combine flax and water; let sit for 5 mins until thick.
  3. Mix: In a large bowl, stir almond flour, seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Combine: Add the flax egg, banana, and nut butter. Mix until a heavy dough forms.
  5. Form: Scoop 2-tbsp mounds. Flatten with your palm to ½ inch thickness.
  6. Bake: 12–15 mins until the edges are golden.
  7. Rest: Cool on the pan for 10 mins before moving. Crucial for texture!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container. They are moist and keep well at room temp for a few days, longer in the fridge.

  • Nut-Free: Use sunflower seed butter and swap almond flour for additional ground sunflower seeds or pumpkin seed flour.

  • Key to Texture: Let them cool completely! They are soft when warm but become perfectly chewy once cooled.
