When you need a satisfying breakfast or snack on the go, reach for a Seedy Power Cookie!
These healthy breakfast power cookies are stuffed full of seeds and nuts and naturally sweetened with a combination of dates and banana. They also happen to be vegan (of course), grain-free, gluten-free, and paleo.
The combination of toasty nut and seed flavours with the sweet, chewy bursts of dried fruit is so good and as they are packed with fibre, protein, and healthy fats these cookies will keep you feeling satisfied all morning long. They are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, snacks, or lunches. Because they are nice and sturdy they won’t get squashed or fall apart in your bag or lunch box!

Ingredients
Here is what you need at a glance, along with some important ingredient notes & substitution ideas:
This is a very forgiving recipe. As long as you use roughly the same total amount, you can switch things up to work with what you’ve got. The only ingredients that must be included for the recipe to work are the banana and the dates. The banana provides the necessary moisture and the dates are the sticky “glue” that holds everything together.
For instance, you can use any combination of raisins, currants, golden raisins, dried cranberries, goji berries, dried blueberries, chopped apricots, chopped prunes, etc that you like in place of the raisins, golden raisins, and cranberries. Just make sure you chop larger fruits like apricots into small raisin-sized pieces.
The same goes for the nuts and seeds. Use any combination of chopped nuts and seeds instead.
A bit of almond meal or almond flour is nice to use instead of the coconut.
Also, it’s worth noting that the cacao nibs are fine to leave out if you don’t have them, or throw in some chocolate chips or some other nut or seed instead!
