Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Have you ever tried a blueberry muffin in cookie form?!  These blueberry oatmeal breakfast cookies taste like the soft and buttery tops you find on most bakery muffins.  However, they are secretly healthy.  Chock full of gluten free oats, toasted almonds, dried blueberries and honey, these cookies make a super nutritious breakfast or snack!

Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

In an attempt to make these cookies a little more “breakfast friendly” I substituted half of the sugar for honey and 2 T. of butter for coconut oil.

The base of the cookies is primarily gluten free oats so they provide you with a wonderful boost of fiber for your first meal of the day or for afternoon snack.

My husband, Cohl, was so obsessed with these cookies that we almost got into a little tiff when he found out I brought the last few to share at the office :-O  Oops!  Might just have to make some more of these again soon!

Want a few substitution ideas for these blueberry oatmeal breakfast cookies?

  • For the dried blueberries:
    • Feel free to swap them out for dried cranberries, raisins or cherries.
  • For the almonds:
    • Substitute pecans or walnuts if you prefer these nuts over almonds.
  • For the honey:
    • Want to make these cookies vegan?  Substitute agave nectar or maple syrup for the honey.
  • For the brown rice flour:
    • Don’t have any brown rice flour?  Feel free to substitute white rice flour for it or use a 1-1 gluten free baking blend instead of the rice flour and tapioca starch.

  1. I substituted almond flour for the rice flour, but they didn’t melt down as yours appeared to have done. So when I took them out, I pressed them down. My second pan, I pressed them down just as they started to brown. My second pan look much nicer and even slightly bigger than my first pan. Do you think it was the almond flour?

    1. It definitely could have been the almond flour. It tends to soak up more of the liquid than rice flour does. You can also try melting the butter more before mixing the ingredients together to see if that helps!

  2. I lost my original copy of this recipe, and when I had it I remember it using rice flour and tapioca starch. This shows GF flour, yet references the rice flour/tapioca starch in the narrative before. Can you give me the measurements of the original ingredients? They were perfect!

    1. Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for asking! I actually changed the recipe back to what it originally was and included the 1-to-1 substitution in the recipe notes. So happy you enjoyed them 🙂

  3. 5 stars
    For the oatmeal blueberry breakfast cookies can I substitute all purpose flour? And would there be any adjustments?
