This is a recipe I created out of a need for a healthy low fat, high fiber breakfast option. This "cookie" is not very sweet. You can add more sugar if desired. Makes a great breakfast with a piece of fruit.

Cookies for breakfast? You heard us right. Think of these healthy baked goods as chewy (portable) granola, sweetened with maple syrup and packed with wholesome ingredients, like chia seeds and walnuts. The cookies are also gluten-free - the batter uses oat flour instead of all-purpose, but you'd never know it!Don't have oat flour on hand? Make your own by grinding whole oats in a food processor until the mixture resembles a flour consistency. Just be sure to measure the oat flour after you grind it, not before. To turn this recipe into a dairy-free breakfast, simply substitute the butter with equal parts coconut oil. Pairing these cookies with your morning coffee will make everything that much sweeter.Related: Healthy High-Protein Oatmeal, Dressed Up 3 Delicious Ways

My family loves these oatmeal cookies, and with my made-over version, they are a great way to sneak extra fiber and grains into their diet! I reduce the sugar, add whole wheat, use rolled oats and add dates (for extra fiber!)
