Breakfast Thumbprints, what 🍪 Yes, you heard right, zero added sugar cookies with a nut butter center for breakfast! Pour us a cup of milk. 🥛

I had this idea to make “breakfast thumbprints” forever because I wanted to make them without any added sugar and fill them with nut/seed butters (all the good fats) and it finally happened!

How about you make these today and have a few with some milk for breakfast all week? It’s like being a kid again I swear.

Oh, they also make a great workout snack! I used the new @kweenandco BLUEBERRY Granola butter for these 🤤 basically the best alternative for those of you with nut/seed allergies or if you’re making nut-free lunch boxes like this mama!

Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
Blend dates, nut butter, oats, cinnamon, baking soda until meal like.
Add enough nut milk to turn it into cookie dough.

Notes

You can make the cookies without a blender or having to deal with dates. Use 1/2 mashed banana instead of dates, use quick oats, and add 1/4 cup (brown/coconut) sugar. Stir these together with the rest of the cookie dough ingredients to make your cookie dough. They’re still super yummy!
