Imagine everything you want in breakfast—a little bit of fiber, a touch of protein, and just enough sweetness to perk you up—but in cookie form. These super seedy power cookies are exactly that. Made with just eggs, coconut sugar (light brown sugar will also work), vanilla, and a wealth of seeds, these gluten-free, refined-sugar-free cookies are just as fit for breakfast as they are for dessert. They come together lightning fast, can be prepped days in advance and stashed in the freezer. They are a great on-the-go breakfast to give you ample energy and keep you satiated until lunch. The center is chewy, the exterior is crisp, and the texture magically gets better with time.

When picking out which seeds to include in your cookie, keep this tip in mind: Try to include a blend of both tiny and large seeds. For the former, sesame, flaxseed, and hemp hearts are our favorites. For the heartier ones, chopped pumpkin and sunflower seeds are great. As long as you don’t stick to all small or all large, and instead focus on a blend of the two, you’ll be A-OK.
