Perfect for breakfast, meal prep, or a quick snack when you’re craving carrot cake without all the points! 🥕✨🍪 I bet you—like me—read the title of this recipe and got super excited. Cookies for breakfast? I’m in! Yes, cookies for breakfast sounds amazing, but even I can’t do legit cookies for breakfast. These carrot cake cookies are incredibly easy to make, but there are a few things you need to do to make them truly breakfast-worthy.
Use real ingredients—You guys know I love me some sugar-laden cookies, but to make these breakfast cookies you need to use real, whole ingredients like maple syrup, coconut oil, and grated carrots to make them both good for you and absolutely delicious.
Bake these cookies until firm—I’m usually a firm believer in slightly under baking cookies, but these hearty breakfast cookies need to be in the oven a bit longer to fully cook through. The end result is a chewy, dense cookie that’ll actually fill you up until lunchtime.
