Prune Breakfast Cookies
Description
Prune Breakfast Cookies are made by mixing dry ingredients including white whole wheat flour, flax meal, milk powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and oats. Separately, softened butter, maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract are beaten together to add moisture and sweetness. The dry ingredients are gradually incorporated, followed by folding in chopped prunes and oats for texture.
The dough is portioned into balls and baked until set with golden edges, resulting in cookies that balance soft chewiness with a slight crispness. Chopped prunes add moist pockets of natural sweetness and a subtle fruity flavor. The spices complement the fruit without overwhelming.
These cookies offer a convenient way to incorporate whole grains and fruit into breakfast or snacks, suitable for on-the-go eating or packed lunches.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1/4 cup milk powder dry
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1/4 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup prunes chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, flax meal, dry milk powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer beat together the softened butter, maple syrup, applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the dry ingredients beating until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in the oats and diced prunes.
- Using a 2 inch cookie scoop, scoop out balls of the dough and place them about 2 inches apart from each other on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the cookies on the middle rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until set and golden around the edges. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container or freeze them.
