Description

If you’re searching for a fresh, flavorful, and wholesome way to start your day, these Lemon Chia Breakfast Cookies are just the ticket.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option: 1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (for sugar-free: monk fruit syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg (or flax egg), melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until fully combined. The batter should be slightly thick and sticky. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the chia seeds can absorb some moisture.

Step 5: Form Cookies
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form 1.5-inch rounds and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Flatten gently with the back of a spoon.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden. Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 7: Serve or Store
Enjoy fresh or store for later use. These cookies taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the lemon zest—it delivers bold citrus flavor
  • Letting the dough rest allows the chia seeds to gel for better texture
  • Use a mild-flavored coconut oil to avoid overpowering the lemon
