I love making breakfast cookies! You guys know this. 🙂 I have a bunch of breakfast cookies recipes on the blog now. They’re one of my favorite go-tos for quick, easy, filling breakfast on-the-go. I love that I can bake a big batch ahead of time, and have them packaged and ready to go for the week. I am all about meals that are portable! I never like to be caught without a nutritious snack.
These Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix Cookies start with oats and oat flour, then I add a bit of peanut butter (though you can use whatever nut butter you’d like!), mashed bananas, dried cranberries, walnuts, cinnamon, and a few other odds and ends. So much good stuff crammed into these! I also added Grape Nuts (Trail Mix Crunch version if you can find it) right into the batter — you’ll love the bites of crunchy trail mix granola.
For other breakfast cookies recipes (I’ve got just a few!!!), check out these Peanut Butter Bacon Breakfast Cookies, or Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Cookies! Those are a few of my faves!

March 30, 2018 at 10:10 amI’m really not that familiar with high-altitude baking, unfortunately. I’m sorry! I did a quick Google and it looks like you’d reduce baking soda slightly, and increase baking temp about 25 degrees. I wish I could be more helpful!
