Let’s bake a better breakfast — one peachy cookie at a time.
🛒 Ingredients
🍑 Fruits et légumes
- 1 ripe peach, diced (or ¾ cup if using frozen, thawed and drained)
🌾 Grains & Flours
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick oats)
- ½ cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut-free)
🧁 Sweeteners
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
🧂 Aides culinaires et épices
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
🥚 Binding
- 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan option: 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana
🛢️ Moisture
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil
👨🍳 Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Rolled oats
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Salt
Stir well to combine.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together:
- Egg
- Applesauce or banana
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Coconut oil
Once mixed, fold in the diced peaches.
Step 4: Combine
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — the dough will be slightly sticky and thick.
Let it rest for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some of the moisture.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until golden around the edges and set in the middle.
Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

❓ 10 Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use canned peaches?
Yes! Drain and pat them dry before dicing. Fresh or frozen (thawed) peaches work best.
2. Are these cookies gluten-free?
They can be. Just use gluten-free oats and oat flour or almond flour.
3. Can I make these vegan?
Absolutely. Use a flax egg and maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
4. Can I use steel-cut oats?
Not recommended — they’re too tough and don’t soften properly in this recipe.
5. How can I make them lower in sugar?
Skip the coconut sugar and reduce the maple syrup by 1 tbsp. Add more mashed banana if needed.
6. Why are my cookies falling apart?
They may be underbaked or missing a binding ingredient. Let them cool fully to firm up.
7. Can I double the recipe?
Yes! Just bake in batches or on two trays.
8. Can I eat the dough raw?
There’s no raw flour, but with egg, it’s safer to bake. For edible dough, use a flax egg instead.
9. Do these taste like traditional cookies?
They’re chewier, less sweet, and more muffin-like — perfect for breakfast or clean snacking.
10. Can I use other fruits?
Yes! Try chopped apples, pears, blueberries, or even plums.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Breakfast Cookies
