Linda’s Kitchen: Healthy Breakfast Cookies

Last month, I tried a fantastic recipe from @lindsay.keosayian: Healthy Breakfast Cookies. They’re easy to make, delicious, and packed with nutritious ingredients—perfect for a quick, guilt-free snack or breakfast! I shared them with the Her Heart team in Sydney, and everyone loved them! Check out the recipe below and be sure to follow Lindsay for more healthy ideas.

You’ll need:

• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 60ml nut or seed butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional, or substitute with honey)
• 35g pumpkin seeds
• 55g organic raisins
• 100g rolled oats
• flaky salt (optional for topping)

Method:

• In a bowl, combine the banana, nut or seed butter, cinnamon, chia seeds, and maple syrup.
• Add pumpkin seeds, raisins, and oats, and stir until well combined.
• Place the bowl in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
• Scoop the mixture onto a lined baking sheet (this batch makes 6 cookies).
• Bake at 190°C for about 12 minutes.
• Top with flaky salt (optional) and enjoy!

These cookies are heart-healthy thanks to their use of whole grains, healthy fats from nut or seed butter, and the addition of chia seeds and pumpkin seeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fibre.
