No-Bake Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp. honey
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup whole-grain brown rice krispie cereal (regular works as well)
- 1/4 cup flaxseed
Optional:
- Melted chocolate drizzle: 3 tbsp. dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Add-ins: mini-chocolate chips (craisins, raisins, chopped up nuts (about 2 tbsp.))
Instructions
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey and salt. Microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir until combined. Add in the vanilla extract and stir.
- To the same bowl, add in the oats, rice krispie cereal and flaxseed along with any add-ins if desired. Stir together until completely combined.
- Line a small baking sheet or plate with wax or parchment paper. Form the mixture into balls and place on sheet/plate. Press down to create a cookie shape.
- If desired, melt 3 tbsp. dark chocolate chips in the microwave. (I alternate microwaving for 20 seconds and stirring until mixture is smooth.) Put the melted chocolate in a small Ziplock and cut a small hole in the tip of the bag. Drizzle the chocolate across the cookies and the let the chocolate harden. (I put mine in the freezer for 5 minutes.)
- Store cookies in an airtight container for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
