I’ve done the cookie thing for breakfast before too, nothing wrong with that! 😉 These look amazing. If anything has carrot cake in the description, I’m in, no questions asked. Happy weekend!
Yes on the breakfast cookie thing. Love this!
I am loving that Mickey Mouse Band-aid in the “Cookieees!” picture. 🙂 So cute.
These look SOOOO fantastic! They look simple to make & I love the healthy ingredients. Definitely a must-make for me! Happy Friday to you & your sweet girl 🙂
I have a healthy carrot cake recipe waiting in my drafts folder that I have totally forgotten about until I just saw this post. How did I let that happen…whoops!
These look awesome and love the yogurt glaze idea!
They look perfect, Lauren! A plate of your carrot oat cookies and a full cup of coffee and you’ve got yourself one hellofa Sunday breakfast!
What a gorgeous site! My only problem is that I’m having a hard time deciding what to make first! Your pictures are so pretty. What camera do you use?
Thanks!
These look great! One question, can I use a different oil since we can’t do coconut, would it be the same amount? Thanks!
Your batch must be extra sweet with the little helper you have – looks like she baked lots of love right in to the batch….
Someone asked what could you use instead of coconut oil I found this on google.
Best substitute for coconut oil
Butter (best for baking). The very best substitute for coconut oil in baking is the same amount of butter!
Olive oil (non-baked). Olive oil is a plant-based oil like coconut oil, and works well as a 1-for-1 replacement.
Neutral oil, like grapeseed oil or sunflower oil.
I want to make these cookies too they look and sound delicious.
Such a smart idea for healthy cookies. This is just my kind of recipe and I can’t wait to try these!
Your little girl is sooo cute!! AND cookies for breakfast is always a good idea 🙂

I love breakfast cookies…especially with carrots! These look wonderful 🙂 PS: I kind of want to put that greek yogurt glaze on…everything.

You know I’m all for cookies for breakfast! Yeee-umm!
We made these this afternoon and they were delicious. Sorry if this seems obvious but I did have a question about the coconut oil. Should I have melted it first, as if it were butter? Thanks 🙂 Melissa
I used less powdered sugar in the glaze and mixed some grated carrot in there as well. Also, I threw some red quinoa in for good measure.
Just made these… amazing!
I used margarine instead of maple syrup since it was all I had. Also used all regular whole wheat flour. Yum!!

hey! thanks for the lovly recepy 😉 just a question about the frosting- does it get stiff in room temp?
Hi Lauren, my name is Laeta and I’m new . How do I make the breakfast oatmeal / carrot cookies gluten free.
If you don’t have wheat pastry flour can you use jusr the unbleached all purpose flour.
yes!
