Can I get a quick fist pump for fall baking season? It is my favorite time of year for baking because it centers around two of my most beloved ingredients: apples and pumpkins.

My secret weapon? Molasses! Thick, syrupy and 100% fall, I love using molasses in baked goods. With school back in session, I wanted to create a fun and portable breakfast cookie that was high in flavor, low in sugar.

  1. I made these because I was needing some healthy breakfast ideas as I’m really not a breakfast person….but trying to eat regularly instead of just when I’m starving. I’m going to play around with the recipe a little bit but maybe it was the nutmeg…or cloves but the strong flavor of one of them I thought gave it a little too bitter of a flavor and took away from the sweetness of the apples…which I think is needed when there is no sugar or much else for sweetness. They have a good consistency though and bake up nicely! I would rate it 3 stars but wasn’t allowing me to pick them for some reason ;)

  2. I’m with you on eating all the apples and pumpkins! And especially making healthier treats with them :)
    These breakfast cookies sound delicious! I’m all about a cookie for breakfast – such a fun way to start the day. And what a great idea to use molasses – such great, deep flavor. Yum!
