Hands up who likes to start their day with a cookie or two? I’m not a cookie for breakfast kind of person normally (even though I prefer my breakfasts on the sweet rather than savoury side), but taking an extremely early flight calls for extreme measures, I think. Especially if you are vegan, as airplane food sucks full stop and vegan airplane food even more so!

Heading off to Crete on Sunday morning, having a super early flight and the desire to have something filling and ‘healthy’ on hand in case there are no decent vegan snacks to be had is what inspired today’s recipe. These vegan breakfast cookies are super easy to throw together (one bowl kind of easy) and if your taste in food is similar to mine (which I am assuming it is 😉 ), you probably have all the ingredients lurking in your cupboards already. Go on, give these chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside cookies a go, you won’t be able to stop snacking on them and that’s a promise! They go so well with a cup of morning coffee, they are filling and easy to pop into your pocket if you are in a morning rush. Bucking the trend for convenience food, they are full of real, wholesome ingredients, with no refined sugar, flour or oil, yet despite all this they are damn tasty.
