    Seeds being processed in a food processor

    If an energy bite and an oatmeal cookie had a baby, it would be these cookies! Breakfast Seed Cookies have all the nutrient dense ingredients that you would find in an all-natural energy bar and with the cinnamon flavor of an oatmeal cookie.

    These cookies come together in the food processor and then are baked until golden brown. They contain no added sugar and are naturally sweetened with medjool dates. They are full of healthy ALA omega-3's.

    The word "omega-3" gets thrown around a lot in the health food industry. But what exactly is an omega-3?

    What are omega-3's?

    Omega-3's are an essential fatty acid. There are 11 types of Omega-3's but the most common are ALA (alpha linoleum acid), EPA (eicosapentaeonic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). ALA is commonly found in plants while EPA and DHA are commonly found in animal products. Omega-3's have been proven to help with arthritis, and improve hair and skin.

    What type of foods are rich in ALA Omega-3?

    Seeds and nuts! Seeds such as flaxseed, hemp seed, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds are some of the richest seed sources of omega-3's. Nuts such as walnuts, almonds and macadamia nuts also contain high amounts of omega-3's.

    A couple notes about Breakfast Seed Cookies:

    Can I use any type of nut or seed butter?

    Yes! I like to use sunflower seed butter or almond butter for these cookies. Any type of nut/seed butter will work the same! Although, the flavor may change slightly, they will still taste delicious!

    How long will these cookies keep for?

    These Breakfast Seed Cookies will last up to a week in an air tight container left on the counter so you can enjoy days after making them!
