Enjoy one of these hearty breakfast cookies with your favorite cup of coffee or tea and savor the precious minutes before the demands of the day begin. I reworked the Silver Palate recipe I made a few weeks ago and created a whole wheat version with reduced sugar and butter. I am trying to make more bake goods with all whole wheat flour and the least amount of butter and sugar as possible without compromising taste. I am happy to report that the end result was a tasty and satisfying cookie you could enjoy any time of the day in moderation without the guilt.
The whole wheat flour and oatmeal gave this cookie a rich texture and taste. The chocolate chips and dry roasted salted almonds together create that perfect salty sweet taste that many of us need to feel sane.
These breakfast cookies have found a permanent spot in my menu repertoire.

Yum, these look super easy and yummy. For even a little more protein it would be easy to add a few tablespoons of vanilla protein powder and it wouldn’t change the flavor
Chunky cookies for breakfast, what a great way to start the day!
Love this recipe! Healthy with a little bit of chocolate, now that’s my kind of breakfast.
Thanks! Let me know if you make them.
I just made these breakfast cookies and they tasted really good but turned out really flat and crumbly. Too crumbly to pick up.
They did not look like your picture at all. Any tips?
Hi holly. Sorry these did not work out. I have made this recipe numerous times and never had that problem. Did you make any adjustments to the recipe? I am trying to think what would make it do that. I might need to do a little research and get back to you. It kind of sounds like they were cooked to long…maybe. I know my new oven cooks things a lot faster than my older. Hmmm I am kind of stumped.
I didn’t make any adjustments but my wheat flour was flour that my dad ground for me (I know, strange but he loves to do it). I’m now wondering if it was too coarse, not fine enough. I really enjoy you blog. Thanks so much for the tips and encouragement!like I said the cookies were tasty!
These are so yummy. Now where to hide them….
Each cookie is 5 WW points plus
Jen thank you so much for doing all of this!! I really appreciate it. Is there a site that I could use to calculate the WW points?
