I’ve never been a big breakfast person. Most mornings, I just feel like a few bites of toast, a waffle (no syrup for me, just a little nut butter) or some yogurt. I created these breakfast cookies to be grain free and refined sugar free, yet filling enough with the nut butter to hold me over until mid-morning. They are also great with afternoon coffee or tea.
Nut butters have become extremely popular. You can find them in pretty much every grocery store nowadays. I try to seek out the varieties that are unsalted, unsweetened, raw and organic, whenever possible. They provide a wonderful base for paleo baked goods, binding the ingredients together and offering good fat content. I order my favorite line of nut butters online. It’s a raw, organic and sprouted line called Blue Mountain Organics. They are unbelievably creamy, “drippy,” and delicious!
If you don’t have pistachio butter, almond or cashew butter would work great, too. Store these in an airtight container in the fridge so they stay fresh longer.
