Blueberry Breakfast Cookies

I don’t know about you but there is no way that I can survive a day without breakfast. I used to totally be that person who would drink a cup of coffee (a HUGE cup of coffee at that) and try to make it til lunch where I would inevitably be starving.  I don’t know why I did that, but breakfast foods just never sounded that great to me.  I’m not a cereal gal and eggs and oatmeal take too long.  Plus all I ever really craved was the coffee.

 

These days you don’t want to meet me without some breakfast in my stomach.  I don’t know when that all changed, but let’s just say I’m glad it did.  Breakfasts, although typically smoothies and maybe oats, are fun to change up and make new things with.  Plus if it’s in cookie form…well, let’s just say it’s a big fat winner then.

These cookies are soft and dense.  They’re packed with blueberries.  They don’t use a ton of flour and I’d be willing to bet you could skip the flour altogether, use gluten-free oats and just add another couple tablespoons of those, use flax instead of wheat germ, and you’ve got a gluten-free breakfast option!  Not that I need that…I love me some gluten and it loves me back…but I know my sister and some very good friends would love more gluten-free options in the morning! BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST COOKIES

  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup oatmeal + 2Tbsp
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 Tbsp wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, washed and dried

Preheat oven to 350.  In a bowl combine together the oil, applesauce, sugar, egg, vanilla and cinnamon.  In a food processor process together the pecans and 1/4 cup of oats.  Add to the wet ingredients.  Mix in the baking powder, salt, flour, and wheat germ.  Gently fold in the blueberries.  Spoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat by heaping tablespoons.  Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown.  Let cool slightly before digging in! Make these bad boys up one morning and feast for the next few!

    I just made these for my 4 yr. old…she LOVES them!! I can’t wait to make another batch, but this time without the sugar. Can I sub it with Agave or Honey??

    PS. I used organic Coconut Oil instead of the veggie oil…YUMM!!!

      YAY! I’m so glad y’all like them…I love the idea of coconut oil in there! I am sure that you could sub agave or honey, but you MAY want to either up the amount of some of the dry ingredients or have a smaller amount of honey/agave to keep the consistency the same. You’ll have to let me know what you use!

    These look so good! What could be substituted for the applesauce? Could it be left out?

      Well the applesauce is a sub for extra oil, so you could use more oil OR something like pumpkin purée 🙂

    I could certainly eat a million cookies for breakfast. 😉 And I have always been a breakfast person. I have to have it as my first meal – whether 6 am or 1 pm. LOL

    Dumb question. I don’t have a food processor right now. Do I need one to make these?

      not a dumb question at all! you could use a blender instead or just leave the oatmeal whole and finely chop the nuts. the biggest thing is that the oat/nut mixture kind of takes the place of flour so you want at least the nuts to be as fine as they can be to reach the consistency of a cookie. i hope that helps!

    I’m the same way – breakfast is essential. My family will attest to this and would willingly tell you how grumpy I become without my morning meal. These breakfast cookies are the perfect way to eat breakfast on a busy morning.

      they’re called Silpats and i believe you can buy them at places like Bed Bath & Beyond, any cooking store, and amazon 🙂 i HIGHLY recommend getting 1-2. they’re a little pricey up front but 100% worth it!

For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AM For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AMAZING low-carb day dish: roasted cauliflower with smoked paprika and almonds! It’s so simple to make, incredibly flavorful, and pairs really well with truly any protein. Enjoy!

* 1/3 cup slivered raw almonds
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Spread the cauliflower florets onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, then toss to evenly coat it all.
4. Roast at 375 for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
5. When there are 3 minutes left, open the oven and sprinkle the almonds on top.
6. Roast for another 3-4 minutes until the almonds are just lightly toasted, then remove and serve immediately.

If there’s a silver lining in the quarantines from last year it’s that I know now that I can handle much more chaos than I thought I could 🤪
A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with my avocado plant! Swipe to see this little guy as a teeny sprout 🌱 

I remember when I wasn’t sure it would sprout at all, and then one day the seed split and there it was! We also hit a point November-January where there was zero growth and I wondered again if it was a waste of time.

Now there are new leaves, new height, and (most importantly) stronger roots, all because of a little patience and care (it’s a metaphor y’all 😆). I find myself excited about the next season where it will be planted in dirt, which will offer new challenges - and growth- of its own. What a blessing to learn such deep lessons from a humble seed!

God, thank you for the little things that show us how much the little things matter. Amen.

And, because I know I’ll get asked, my favorite scents are in this order: Fresh Coconut, Soft Lavender, Clean Rose. The coconut smells like a vacation, and couldn’t we all use a vacay right now? 🏖 Link in the ol’ profile to shop!
🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I str 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I struggle getting enough protein into my diet. Who else can relate?!

One of my physical health goals this year is to gain lean muscle and get stronger, which means that I need to be getting enough protein in on a daily basis. For me a great source of lean protein is chicken breasts, but if they don’t taste great I’m not having it! So, if this is you, I have a solution for you: BRINE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! 

Here’s my fail-proof brine recipe for perfectly flavorful chicken breasts. Cook ‘em however you want - just make sure you brine them first! The difference is enormously worth it!

Recipe is for about 4-6 chicken breasts:
•3 tablespoons kosher salt
•3 tablespoons honey
•2 cups lukewarm water
•2 cups cold water

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a simmer. Remove and stir until the salt is dissolved, then pour in the cold water. IT MUST BE COLD - otherwise the brine will start to cook the chicken breasts! When the mixture is lukewarm, add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re covered in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 1-6 hours (I recommend 6 if you can). When they’re finished, remove from the brine, rinse, pat dry and cook as desired!
🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with findi 🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with finding cardio equipment for their home gym on a budget?

I love running, walking and hiking, but weather, childcare, and a certain global pandemic make consistently getting out to do those kinda difficult. I’ve always enjoyed my #homegym, but quality cardio equipment is expensive! 

So what’s a girl to do?

This past fall I randomly decided to look at steppers, and found this @sunnyhealthfitness one on @walmart for $50! I just wanted something that I could use for 20-30 minutes 4-ish days a week, and it’s been an amazing fit. Would I like a Peloton? Duh, of course. But this has worked so well with the budget and space we have!

What’s your biggest struggle in curating a home gym?
A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t r A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t recommend seeing a counselor or therapist enough. I was weird about it first, felt like my problems weren’t big or messy enough to warrant professional help. And when I did start seeing my counselor I was awkward (this shouldn’t be a surprise). But here we are 4 months later and I’m seeing some incredible life-giving movement. God is so good, and I’m so thankful for friends who normalized counseling and therapy for me!
So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed (or really in my stories too). Truthfully I’m still heavily processing the last 2 months, which were preceded by 10 other hard months. Life is brutal and beautiful and next-level hard and a joy, all swirled together. I won’t pretend that everything is OK; it’s not. I’m not.

BUT GOD.

This past weekend I had a moment of complete clarity and joy and the knowledge that I will be OK. And for that only-God moment I’m so thankful. For all of you who have been praying for our family, who have offered the sweetest words and condolences, who have truly been there, waiting and wading with me through the hard - thank you. God is still good. He is still on his throne. And I am so unwaveringly thankful for that!❤️
Just a couple quick reminders: ⭐️ healthy doe Just a couple quick reminders:

⭐️ healthy doesn’t have to be hard
⭐️ you’re allowed to “mess up”
⭐️ you’re allowed to be multidimensional
⭐️ don’t overcomplicate it 
⭐️ YOU ARE CAPABLE 

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!

Does anyone even do a word of the year anymore after 2020? If you do I’d love to see you share it below!
