Healthy Breakfast Cookie Recipe

Light, Satisfying Breakfast Balls: Great Start for Your Day

These healthy breakfast cookies are made with cooked brown rice, chia seeds, cashews, coconut, raisins and dates.

Chia seeds, high in protein & Omega 3s, are available in natural food stores and online. Use ground sunflower seeds if you can't find chia.

Breakfast Balls

We gobble 3 or 4 breakfast cookies when we're in a hurry - sometimes as we're running out the door! If you have time, they're great with fruit or juice.

Ayurvedically speaking, these cookies are balanced with all six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent. Sweet taste dominates, with the rice, dried fruit, cashews & coconut. Lime juice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, & chia seeds round things out.

Breakfast cookies don't take long to make, but forming balls and rolling them in coconut takes a while. Immensely satisfying activity though - like making legal mudpies. Happily our breakfast cookies taste like ambrosia, not mud.

Makes 30 - 36 breakfast balls, depending on size. Serving Size: 3 - 4 breakfast cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup ground cashews
  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup dried shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup pitted dates, chopped fine
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup more coconut for rolling the balls

Directions:

  1. Soak the chia seeds for 15 minutes in 1/3 cup water + 2 Tbsp lemon juice - they'll form a gelatinous mass. Stir well to remove any lumps
  2. Grind the cashews in a blender, spice grinder, or food processor until finely ground
  3. Combine all ingredients in a food processor to form a loose ball
  4. If you don't have a food processor, just grind the nuts or chop fine, and combine everything well by hand, mashing it all together with your hands
  5. Form into balls, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter
  6. Roll the balls in coconut as they are formed
  7. Place in a flat, shallow container, and store tightly covered in the fridge
