I think I have found a new favorite breakfast. And it is in the form of a cookie. Surprised? Probably not. You know me well enough by now to know that I am happy eating chocolate any time of day. This on the other hand has oatmeal, and yogurt too, so it is much more acceptable for breakfast. Some might even call it healthy.
This isn’t a cookie you pick up and take with you. You do need a spoon to eat it, but it totally tastes like a cookie. My 7 year old asks for this almost every day now. It comes together in less than 5 minutes, so I am totally OK with making this every morning.
You could change this up a million different ways. I put in chocolate chips, you could put in raisins or berries. Add peanut butter (I have done that, it is good). Stir in some cocoa powder for a chocolate version. You get the idea, the possibilities are endless.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 3 Tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

- Spread the mixture in a small ramekin or in the center of a microwave safe plate. The mixture will be very thick. Alternatively you can mix and make in a microwave safe mug or bowl.
- Microwave for 60-70 seconds. Your cookie is done when it springs back, and is no longer sticky on top.
- Enjoy warm for gooey chocolate!

So I pinned this awhile back and finally got around to making it since I had to be at work at 5am. It came out great, used the honey vanilla Greek yogurt. Kept me going and I packed for my lunch and put it all together at break. Will be making this a weekend breakfast for my kids.
I made this for myself and my daughter this morning. Very good indeed! I can’t wait to mess about with the recipe a little, try some new combinations. It’s a great idea.
How many carbs are in one breakfast cookie? I am on a limited carb diet. Thanks. Joanne
That depends on the brand of products that you use, they all have varying stats. I suggest you use either MyFitness Payl or Social Spark, both have free nutrition calculators.
Hi Erin! Can’t wait to try this breakfast cookie! Has anyone tried using a packet of instant oatmeal? I was thinking about apples and cinnamon!
I have not heard about anyone using instant oatmeal packets. I assume it would work. Use the packet, the yogurt, and probably the flour and baking powder. Let me know how it works!

Thank you!
This sounds so delicious! Can you use oat Fiber or coconut flour instead of the wheat flour?
I am sure you could BreAnn. It just helps to give the cookie some structure. Try it, and let me know how it works!
