These 5-ingredient chia breakfast cookies are loaded with all kinds of goodies to fuel your morning.

In this recipe, the almond flour and creamy nut butter bring a boost of healthy fat and protein. I used almond butter for mine, but any of your favorite nut butters will work. The cookies are naturally sweetened with dates, which are high in fiber. Plus, they serve as the binder for the cookie, and make them extra gooey on the inside!

Chia seeds are the final ingredient that brings everything together and creates the “oatmeal” texture. High in fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids to help fight inflammation, they make a perfect addition to healthy baking!

Pro tip: Use your hands to form the batter into cookies, and place them on the sheet pan. The cookies will not rise, so shape them the way you want them to turn out.

Baking the cookies takes just 10 minutes in the oven. They need to rest briefly on the pan to harden, so do your best to wait until they cool a little.
