Blueberry Oats Breakfast Cookies

These cookies are perfect for breakfast on the go... yeah, cookies for breakfast!



First of all I want to wish all of you from the USA a Happy 4th of July. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. It was nice to have the day off from work. Although we did not do anything exciting, we did some work around the house and got a lot of things done.

With the summer in full swing one of the things I like most about these months are the fresh berries.  Blueberries are one of my all-time favorites when it comes to berries.

I love baked items with blueberries, but when I thought about it I had never baked cookies with blueberries before. That really got me thinking that blueberries would be perfect for a cookie for breakfast.  Yeah, breakfast cookies; I have been seeing recipes on and around the web for these things.

I am not sure what the difference is between the breakfast cookies and regular cookies, but I think that maybe breakfast cookies are a touch healthier than their counterpart.

So since I made these a touch healthier I am going to call these babies blueberry oat breakfast cookies.  I love how these turned out, they are super moist and perfect for a breakfast on the go.

    I love blueberries and it's funny how I don't use them that often in cookies / desserts. Your cookies look amazing!

    Well, I think breakfast cookies is a wonderful concept! Like you said, sometimes, you're just on the go and need a quick snack and here you go, the kids will love these and they are a touch healthier than regular cookies. Sometimes, I find I just need a little snack for the kids when I put them in their carseats and we have to go somewhere in a hurry =) And I love berries too in summer! We have a wonderful blueberry patch near us and we pay 2 bucks a pound, we pick a ton and freeze a ton for winter baking and snacking. Blueberries are my favorite too in desserts =) Can't wait to try.
