Why You’ll Love These Cookies
These gluten-free berry oatmeal breakfast cookies will make a great travel snack and/or a healthy breakfast to go! Plus they are made in one bowl, so they’re easy to make and clean-up is a breeze.
Besides, who doesn’t love berry flavored oatmeal cookies? Especially one that’s made with fresh berries and is allowed to be eaten at breakfast! That’s worth some extra celebrating, yes?
The other reason I absolutely ADORE these festive breakfast cookies are because the combination of gluten-free oats and vitamin C rich fruits (like berries) actually help increase your chromium absorption.
Breakfast Cookie Ingredients
Below is an overview of the ingredients and recipe. Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details and nutrition information.
- Gluten-free rolled oats – Do not substitute quick oats or steel-cut oats, or the texture won’t be the same.
- Berries – The fresher, the better! I used blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, but go ahead and use whatever berries you like that are in season.
- Gluten-free all-purpose flour or gluten-free pancake mix – I suggest using a whole-grain gluten-free pancake mix or allergy-friendly pancake mix.
- Almond milk or coconut milk – Use whatever dairy-free milk that you prefer.
- Egg – Use room-temperature eggs when baking to help them fully incorporate into your batter or dough.
- Coconut sugar or raw sugar – Regular granulated sugar in combination brown sugar can also be used.
- Baking Staples – Baking powder, kosher salt and vanilla are included to improve the texture and taste.
- Optional Protein Boosters – Plain or chocolate collagen protein powder, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts (if not allergic), etc.
How to Make Gluten-Free Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, folding in the strawberry slices last.
- Use a large or small cookie scoop, scoop out dough and place on baking tray.
- Press the cookies flat with back of cup or leave in cluster shape, both work.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on bottom.
- Remove and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Store in airtight container or freezer for later.

great thanks for your site
wow, the sbanhs look so delicious and so nutritious, I really love eating such cakes.
Can I use regular flour and milk?
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not!
All about the berries this weekend! Coincidentally I made breakfast cookie dough today, but no berries. Love how fruity these are!!!
Thank you for some other informative web site. The place else may just I get that kind of information written in such an ideal manner? I’ve a undertaking that I am simply now running on, and I have been on the look out for such info.
thank you
You’re welcome!
wow, the sbanhs look so delicious and so nutritious, I really love eating such cakes.
Does it matter if you use fresh or frozen berries?
Can I use regular flour and milk?
A delicious looking snack! I love having something like this when my tummy starts grumbling before lunch time
Sooo good? I’m with ya there!
How long do the stay fresh. Can I make them days ahead of my 4th of July crowd arriving.
3-5 days or so! They are also freezer friendly?
Congratulations for this Excellent and galvanizing Information.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed
Can I use almond flour instead of pancake mix?
I don’t think they would hold as well. YOu could use any other starch though! Or oat flour, coconut flour, rice flour, GF flour, etc. Baking times might vary.
Awesome piece of work.
Cookies for breakfast? I’m SO in!
Love this recipe and taste is just mind blowing.
Making these once I replenish my oats! Do you think I could use chickpea flour for the GF flour!? I have some to use up!
I think it would! or even pancake mix
Talk about perfection in the form of cute little discs! Meal prepping desserts are the best. I can just pop one out of the fridge and dig into them anytime! Might be dangerous, but convenience is key!
Yeah baby! healthy cookies for breakfast!
Years back I would buy a cinnamon breakfast cookie that I absolutely loved but it didn’t keep me full very long. Looking forward to making these and freezing them for when we need quick ‘on the go’ breakfasts / snacks during football season!
I love breakfast cookies, they are great to have on hand for busy mornings. The blueberries are such a tasty idea!
I’m so making these!!!
My favorite breakfast is oatmeal & berries. Now in a cookie!! Yum
yay! keep me posted!
FABULOUS blueberry-packed cookie recipe! And I love the “nerdy nutrition” 🙂 xx
You’re fabulous! 🙂
I guess we’ve all noted that the photo shows raspberries, but I’m glad u used strawberries—cheaper.
Have to remember that when heated, lose enzymes. Etc etc
yes, both work! I found raspberries on sale so i remade these with them. Haha no slicing needed = i’m lazy
Could I use frozen berries instead?
I think so! Just maybe let them thaw a little to squeeze out extra water. Does that make sense?
Yes, thank you so much for responding!
I love starting my day with these terrific cookies!! A delicious breakfast!
Ohhh…I love that you used both blueberries and raspberries here! My girls are going to go crazy for these!
These are just fun… perfect for little hands too!
FINALLY!!! A breakfast cookie that DOESN’T call for bananas and things like chia seeds or flaxseed….honestly I don’t know of anyone that keeps items like that in their pantry! My son just started a new job and has a longer commute and seems to have trouble finding time to have breakfast before running out the door. I will be making a double batch of these tomorrow and packing them 2 or 3 in a bag so he can grab from the freezer and eat while driving to work if necessary. Thanks for the recipe!
wonderful! let me know how they turn out for you Jane or if you need more suggestions/tips.
These look SO delicious! Usually I’m all about make ahead breakfasts like breakfast bakes, breakfast cookies or overnight oats, however, for some reason lately I’ve been all about muesli bowls! I’ve been making my own muesli filled with flaxseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pepitas and a bunch of nuts and then mixing in a handful of gluten free cereal, adding some frozen banana slices and pouring over milk and breakfast is served!
HAND THOSE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick – send me some of these cookies pronto as I think my chromium levels are supa low as I’m so HANGRY right now – especially looking at these here morsels of deliciousness!
Berry Cookies for breakfast!? I’m always in for that 🙂
YAY! come over. Bring coffee
With my son home from college I’ve been batch cooking breakfast for him. He mows the lawn and takes out the trash and I make sure he has an easy breakfast. He is going to love this! I won’t even tell him it’s healthy.
Oh yea! You’re such a good mom! Let me know what he thinks. xxoo
Berry Breakfast Cookies are one of our summer favs! I was going to make them today but ended up whipping up banana bread with the bananas instead, of course I still have some left maybe tomorrow only I can’t eat them, but they girls would love them. I will have to ty them without bananas too! Happy Memorial Day my friend!
I think I’d like your banana bread today please! YUM!
i like breakfast cookies, esp with berries they sound sooo good. i am gonna have to add this on my list of things to make 🙂
yes!! keep me posted!
All about the berries this weekend! Coincidentally I made breakfast cookie dough today, but no berries. Love how fruity these are!
oh i bet yours were fab! with fudge perhaps?
It’s funny; I really don’t like fruit in my cookies. BUT I really like it plain or with granola, so maybe I can make the leap to oatmeal cookies since these are for breakfast anyway!
Oh i think you will looooove then! Keep me posted!
These look SO SO SO good!!
thanks Madleine! Let me know if you try them
Ohhhhh… I love breakfast cookies! And I have a TON of pancake imx to use up. I did bacon pancake cookies once with mix… they definitely weren’t healthy enough for breakfast though. HA!
cookie swap, lets do it!
Yum!! I’m looking for a simple and quick breakfast/snack recipe to make for the week and I think this is it!
oh wow Lindsey, these look so great!! Such gorgeous colors! I think i have a box of pancake mix somewhere in my pantry that is just waiting to be used for this recipe 🙂
I love oat cookies, breakfast cookies, anything like that. These sound yummy! Didn’t have to do any patriotic baking this weekend, but it’s usually something with berries!
Pancake batter in cookies?! This is genius! I seriously am using the batter of this recipe to use up some pancake batter I have in my pantry! These would be phenomenal!
Great idea to use the pancake mix! I will definitely be making these as soon as I can stand to turn the oven on with this heat!
Oh girl I know!! Humidity
Yum! These remind me of my blueberry lemon breakfast cookies. I’ll have to try your version! Berries are my favorite and so good in cookies.
trade you cookies? 😉
Love this recipe and love the patriotic colors in the cookies!
right? that color just makes me happy!
These sound perfect — a little sweet treat with some added nutrients, too. My kids would love to see these for breakfast! I appreciate the use of a mix, too — I’m all about the shortcuts. 🙂
My adrenal glands are so stressed, please bring over some of these cookies which look absolutely deliciuos by the way
you poor thing. Maybe you need an off season and I can feed you all the cookies? 😉
Now, if anyone asks me if I learned anything today, it is the necessity of oatmeal cookies for breakfast 😀 Happy Memorial Day!
exactly! hehe. <3 you
A delicious looking snack! I love having something like this when my tummy starts grumbling before lunch time 🙂
I so agree!! plus great with coffee. hehe
