Oatmeal carrot breakfast cookie is a wholesome, grab and go breakfast or snack that your whole family will love.
This is a sponsored post brought to you by Quaker Oats. All opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
Cookies for breakfast? Well yes, when they are filled with nutritious Quaker Old Fashioned Rolled Oats.
Oats are so good for us, they are a nutritious whole grain that breaks down into slowly absorbed glucose to give you long lasting energy, and that's the best kind of energy. So why not load up your breakfast with nutritious Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats in a breakfast cookie?
Don’t these cookies look absolutely delicious? They are thick and hearty almost like a bowl of oatmeal that is baked into an oversized cookie. Every time I make them, they disappear real fast, and I suspect some are even eaten as dessert.
Oatmeal Carrot Breakfast Cookies
These breakfast cookies are super easy to make, and they are filled with wholesome ingredients. Make a double batch of them and freeze them, they thaw out quickly for a grab and go breakfast option or a mid-day snack.

Umm, cookies for breakfast?! You've managed to make my mornings magical with this yummy recipe. Can't wait to whip up a batch tonight!!
Heather says
I love a good bowl of regular oatmeal with a fried egg on top, but usually our rolled oats are ground into oat "flour" for baking!
Jolene Martinelli says
Our favorite way to eat Quaker Oats is the Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin cookies I got off the canister years ago!

You had my attention when you put the words breakfast and cookie together. These cookies look amazing, and carrot cake is my husbands favorite. We are definitely trying these. I think they're perfect because I can make a big batch on the weekend, and we can grab them for breakfast during the week. My children will be ecstatic that they get to eat cookies for breakfast.
anne says
Thanks Patti! I hope you enjoy them.

Talk about being jam-packed with nutrition. I am so doggone bored with our breakfasts but your oatmeal cookies have carrots and cinnamon in them to boot. That would certainly activate the old tastebuds. I'll be making them soon.
Anne Murphy says
It's funny - I still have trouble wrapping my mind around "breakfast cookie" - but I'm fine with muffins! And I look at these, and they're kind of chewy muffins... I may just need to try these for the family!
anne says
They are just like chewy muffins!

Cookies? For breakfast?! Girl I'm so there for this! This sounds like the perfect (and only) way to start one's morning.
anne says
Yes they are Clarie!
Neriz @ food and journeys says
I would gladly have a couple for breakfast -- and bring some more in the office for my team. 🙂 Skipping the buns for tomorrow's meeting for these babies! A great way to kick-off our week. 🙂
anne says
Thank you!
alifeofhappenstance says
Perhaps if I mad these breakfast cookies my daughter wouldn’t give me such a hard time about eating in the morning! Lol! Honey is the only sweetener we can have...perhaps I can sub out the coconut sugar for 1/4 cup of honey??? I think I’ll give it a try!
anne says
Yes, you can use honey in place of coconut sugar. Enjoy!
Monica says
I love the combination of oats, carrots, and a bit of cinnamon - these sound like the perfect thing to make with my preschooler for his afternoon snacks! We always have rolled oats on hand - we go through what feels like pounds of them for his breakfast already, haha!
anne says
It's a healthy snack that doesn't taste like it is!
Fork in the Road says
I'm a HUGE fan of regular oatmeal cookies so I know these carrot-filled breakfast cookies will be perfect for quick mornings. I can imagine enjoying them with a cup of hot pumpkin-spiced coffee in the fall and winter!
anne says
Thanks they don't last long when I make them!

Love this idea! We have oatmeal every weekday but these cookies would go down well too I'm sure.
