And weâre baaackâ¦with another quinoa breakfast cookie recipe!
After the last recipe â remember those blueberry muffins ones!? â I did a quick poll and asked for some flavor suggestions for upcoming cookies. I got loads of fabulous ideas, many of which are definitely in the works, but one of my favorites was what we have today: peanut butter and jelly.
Itâs such a classic combination that brings back fun memories, but also feels so natural to serve at breakfast. The peanut butter part comes in the form of the cookies and the jelly is an all-natural, homemade raspberry chia jam.
In the beginning I was thinking these would be more like swirls, but then the idea thumbprint cookies came to mind and I knew that was it. Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies with a dab of sweet raspberry jam on top. It makes it so you get a little bit of both flavors in every bite, but not too much of either. It strikes the perfect balance between the peanut butter and jelly.
These cookies come together just like our other quinoa breakfast cookies â this time youâre just using all peanut butter in the base instead of another nut butter. For the jam, I had leftover chia jam from my buckwheat porridge, but you could either whip some up yourself or just use your favorite (preferably naturally sweetened) jam/jelly.
And when you go to bake them, simply make a small indent with your thumb, put a small spoonful of jam on top and toss them in the oven. Theyâll come out warm and gooey, with just the right amount of sweetness.
The flavor is so reminiscent of the classic PB+J sandwiches I used to have as a kid that I seriously could not stop eating them. Usually I send half a batch home with friends, but these ones I kept all for myself. They were my breakfast, snack AND dessert for at least two days.
Now that I have this running list of flavor combinations â thanks to everyone who sent me some! â Iâm thinking weâll have a monthly breakfast cookie flavor. Sounds kinda fun, huh? So far, hereâs what we have for 2016:
