Loaded Paleo Breakfast Cookies
Okay… I have to be honest with ya’ll. My sweet tooth has ZERO chill. Zero. Zilch. None. I love sweet flavors and I’ve learned to accept that sweet breakfasts are what is most satisfying for me.
I used to force myself to eat breakfast salads or egg scrambles every day because I thought that was “healthier” and I saw so many other bloggers and paleo influencers doing that. But then I realized those foods don’t appeal to me in the morning and there’s nothing wrong with that!
I love eggs. I love veggies. I love all the savory foods… just not for breakfast. And guess what? Honoring my sweet tooth in the morning hasn’t made the world end!!! * gasp * I know right!? Wild. ;)
Honestly, it’s. been a game changer because I start my day satisfied and honoring my body and that’s the kind of way we SHOULD be starting our days.
But just because I choose to honor my sweet tooth, doesn’t mean I do so in an unhealthy way. I always make sure to kick off my day with nutrient dense foods and these loaded paleo breakfast cookies definitely meet the mark.
These loaded paleo breakfast cookies are grain free, gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free AND Specific Carbohydrate Diet friendly! They’re chalk full of nuts, seeds, coconut and berries and are made with a base of hazelnut and almond flour giving them a nutty flavor that’s so heavenly paired with a cozy cup of coffee or tea.
So if you’re like me and looking for ways to satisfy your AM sweet tooth while also supporting your health and gut, give these a try. :) One of my favorite parts? You can easily sub out the mix-ins for other nuts and seeds (or even try adding dried fruit!) to make them exactly what you want.
