Gut-Friendly Breakfast Cookies

If you’re anything like me—juggling kids, workouts, sunshine, and a full life—you need a breakfast that works with your body, not against it. Something that fuels lean energy, supports digestion, keeps cravings in check, and still tastes like a treat.

These aren’t dessert pretending to be breakfast. They’re nutrient-dense, fat-burn-friendly, gut-loving fuel you can grab on your way out the door, toss in a lunchbox, or enjoy after a morning workout.

They’re easy, tasty, kid-approved, and yes—they help you stay lean without feeling deprived.

GRAB & GO Breakfast

High in fiber and omega-3s: Flaxseed meal, chia seeds, and hemp hearts support healthy digestion, reduce inflammation, and help you feel full longer.

• Protein and healthy fats: Nut butter and oats provide a balanced combination that stabilizes energy and keeps you satisfied until your next meal.
• Gut health support: Adding Gut Punch gives your breakfast a dose of prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes for optimal nutrient absorption.
• Convenient and versatile: These cookies are easy to make ahead, grab-and-go friendly, and freezable for busy mornings.

• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup (95 g) rolled oats

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, nut butter, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and 2 scoops of Gut Punch until smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in oat flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
4. Fold in oats and seeds: Mix in rolled oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and walnuts if using. Let dough rest 5 minutes to hydrate.
5. Scoop cookies: Use a large cookie scoop (~3 tbsp per cookie) and place dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Press a few chocolate chips on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
6. Bake for 10–14 minutes until set but still soft.
7. Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature or in the fridge for longer.
