No Bake Triple Almond Breakfast Cookies
A delicious, no bake healthy cookie recipe which requires 1 bowl and 10 minutes tops to whip up! Using almonds three ways, these cookies are gluten free, paleo, vegan, dairy free and the perfect grab and go healthy breakfast!
I should consider renaming this blog to the ‘no bake blogger’. Or the ‘no bake boy’.Or something with the word lazy….because no bake = easy = my kind of recipe.
I’m keeping with my promise to make paleo friendly recipes for Niki- although I may or may not have been eating them myself. I like to refer to it as quality assurance. I mean, it’s rude to serve other people food which isn’t delicious. Right? RIGHT?
Back to the recipe- I kind of got slightly excited with the almonds. Almond butter and almond flour are the same thing except ground to different levels of perfection. If I didn’t add a few other ingredients, I may as well have just bought a package of almonds and called them breakfast. However, I am not THAT lazy.
The reason for the multiple variations of them is one thing- Texture. Almond butter, almond flour and whole almonds are all the same thing- but the textures of each of them are different. One of Niki’s favourite cookies are these Persian Almond cookies which she used to eat for breakfast. Those cookies were definitely not Paleo (Think almonds, glucose syrup, butter and almond meal) but now she has a substitute for the two weeks. Or three weeks. Any bets it will be close to a year the way she’s going.
These no bake cookies don’t have to be limited to breakfast but cookies for breakfast sounds sexy. Not only are they suitable for Paleo folks, but if you follow a Vegan, Grain Free or Gluten Free diet- you can go to town on these two.
No Bake Triple Almond Breakfast Cookies (Paleo | Grain Free | Gluten Free | Vegan)
- ¼ cup almond flour, sifted
- 2 T coconut flour, sifted
- 1 tsp coconut sugar (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼- ½ cup almond milk
- ½ cup whole almonds, divided
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 T shredded coconut
- Optional Add ins-
- 1 scoop of protein powder
- Homemade paleo chocolate chunks
- Dried fruits
- Chopped nuts
- In a small mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon and sea salt. Add the almond butter and mix well until a crumbly batter is formed.
- Slowly add in almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a firm dough is formed. Add in the shredded coconut, half the whole almonds and any other mix ins as desired.
- Form into palm sized cookies and plate.Add remaining whole almonds on top and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to firm up.
- These cookies are quite soft once left at room temperature- best to store them in a fridge/freezer.
Hope to see you all stop over for Spill it, Sundays- this week we highlight other blogger’s posts or recipes!
What’s one food which has multiple textures in different forms? Oats!
No bake or baked goods? Which do you prefer?
Do you reckon it would be awesome to have a job tasting for ‘quality control’?

I want to be your taste Tester! Wanna hire me? I’ll give you a special friends discount 😉
So these are the long awaited almond version cookies. Why not the ball form this time? Actually it doesn’t really matter what form they have. Too bad I’m out of almond butter right now. And my freezer is full anyway (stuffed with muffins. I don’t have enough friends to give them to. Wanna come over and get some? I know you like frozen muffins:-D) Once there’s room again I will make another batch of these with cashew butter!
And I think there is a place both for baked and non baked goods. Hot summer: no bake!
YES PLEASE! You can make the omelettes, I’ll make the…other non omelette food.
They actually were in a ball form to begin with but look better flattened!
Mmm love the almonds on the top! Along with oats, I find that the texture and form of eggs is hugely varied…gotta love versatility! Given that ice cream and cheesecake are 2 of my favorite desserts, I am going to go with no-baked desserts…oh and of course we can’t forget about cookie dough 😉
I totally forgot about eggs- even adding 1 ingredient can morph eggs into something completely different!
Yum! I’m not usually a no-baked fan, mostly because I never get past the mixing stage. Balls or cookies or whatever never get formed. Spoon goes into bowl… you see. But if you could ship me some of these pre-made I’d be ever so grateful 😉 (it’s not like AUS and the UK are far apart or anything)
If you guys beat is in the Commonwealth games medal tally, I may… 😉
PS After FIFA no one cares for the games lol- is it the same in the UK?
Commonwealth whaaa? (Yeah, it’s exactly the same!)
I want one of these, NOW! Yummers.
I love coconut in every form. And chicken. Haha, I am so funny.
And definitely no bake – I am also lazy!!
No bake chicken recipe? you should do it.
No don’t. You’ll get salmonella and die.
Arman these look so good! Almond and cinnamon goodness 🙂
I love baked and no baked goods equal amounts. Baked for their warm gooey straight out of the oveness and no bake for their chewy easy goodness.
Quality control for your future no bake range? Yes please!
of course….in fact, you probably will be haha legit.
Did you buy your almond flour or make it yourself? I couldn’t help laughing when you said you could’ve also just bought a bag of almonds – but that’s the awsome part of eating whole foods: Many variations of the same amazing, natural ingredient can make a difference, but is still yummy and unique. Great recipe, can’t wait to try it 🙂
I bought it- I haven’t tried making it myself! Thanks A! Hope you do give it a go!
The no bake blogger? Well you have more recipes than me…so. These cookies do look excellent so thank you for sharing!
No worries, I’ll need to reconsider the blog name.
I could see myself being a taste tester for peanut butter or chocolate fudge cake. I could really enjoy that. Oh, and of course, new Red Mango flavors. But you knew that.
Of course…you need to see if that position actually exists.
These Almond Breakfast cookies look absolutely wonderful! I do want to try and make them!!
Thank you, Maryann! 🙂
Yum! I have been doing a lot of no bake desserts at the moment too – it is too hot to do anything else.
Oh Geebuz, it’s Winter here- I wonder if I’ll be making chillis and stews come Summer.
These look really awesome and easy. Will need to try these when I start cooking again which is when I return from Lake Placid 🙂
Enjoy your time away, my friend! These cookies will be here waiting for you at the finish line…err kitchen line.
Mmm these look awesome! I love having baked goods, but they’re usually only good for the first couple days. I’ve been known to make a whole batch of fresh brownies and only eat one. I think I need to have some more “no-bake” recipes in my life!
Story of my life- Hence- freeze them! That way, you have several on rotation. And bars thawed are delicious…or brownies.
Oh no! Please don’t give me more reasons to have cookies for breakfast….my sweet tooth is already on high alert. These sound yummmyyy! Love that they have lots of good stuff in there too! No bakes will be a big feature in the next month as the heat shoots up here!
You deserve them though- after those epic miles (sorry, Kilometres ;)) you do! Send some heat over- it’s freezing here.
If I do make a treat, I prefer baking it! But hey, I won’t discriminate…these look steller! 😉
Thanks buddy!
Nope… you’re not making me choose between bake and no bake — I need both. No bake in the summer because it’s too hot, but bake in the winter because it’s too cold. And how would I get banana bread without baking? Or energy bites with baking? Both, and that’s my final answer 😛
Oh, and I love your attention to texture detail… and that we’re totally on the same wavelength today with the almond cookies 😛
Hahahaha T.T. Texture twins….love it.
mmmm!!! Mail me some??? These are PERFECT!
Of course 😉
Almonds are my favorite nut so this almond cubed cookie looks delightful.
Apples vary in texture; fresh apples, dried apples, applesauce, apple juice, all offer different tastes and textures.
I am far too lazy to bake and my favorite sweet treats are of the ice cream/gelato/frozen yogurt variety which is not part of your question but I’ll vote un-baked.
YES- How could I forget apples! I recently have been working on a sauteed apple recipe….on a pizza. Thoughts?
I bet that would be good! I like pineapple on pizza so why not yummy sautéed apples?
I’m definitely self-dubbed quality control taste tester for everyone’s meals when we are out to dinner…. Especially with fries. I have to make sure they have the right balance of crispiness and softness.
I prefer baked goods when it comes to cookies and bars. When it comes to veggies… I want them raw!
Hahaha The fry bandit? I love it!
Raw veggies? I admire your stomach of steel.
I just want to point out that paleo itself already mean gluten and wheat free. Just so you know 🙂
Thanks Linda, I am well aware of that, but some readers aren’t so I need to cater to them too. Just like how many products in store say ‘Vegan’ and ‘Vegetarian’ on them both 🙂
Okie Dokes, just so you know! 🙂
Yesss these look so flipping good! I want to make them right now. Except I currently already have almond butter energy balls, chocolate zucchini muffins, and raw chocolate almond butter cups sitting in my fridge. I’ve been bored this week so I’ve just been doing lots of cooking and baking/unbaking haha. I really like raw and baked recipes – they’re different, but both are so good!
…..Feel free to ship some over to Australia. Seeing as their in your fridge, they’d probably make the trip over here.
PS I spoke to Davs today and she told me she went to your bakery in Burlington and bought 4 cupcakes. When I visit, we are buying cupcakes.
Entered the giveaway in the nick of time. 😉 (I’d order maca powder!)
I think it’s totally acceptable to taste test a few. I mean you gotta make sure they aren’t poisonous or anything! You were just fulfilling your brotherly duties.
Since there’s also almond milk, you could even call these quadruple almond breakfast cookies. Though triple does sound better. Quadruple is kind of hard to say. 😉 I’m loving all your paleo recipes and am *thinking* about doing a little paleo challenge myself…. though it might break down the moment I get to work and realize that I can make pizza for dinner 😛
DUDE! how did I forget the almond milk!!!!!
Oh a paleo challenge? Feel free to shoot an email if you want to chat/discuss/anything- it didn’t work for me but for each of us, it’s different! 🙂
Pinned! 🙂 It’s so darn hot here right now that I’m loving the idea of a no-bake cookie, so this way I don’t have to turn on the oven. These sound delicious and I’m happy to say I have all the ingredients at home right now! Yay! I can’t wait to give them a try and I think I’m going to add in a scoop of protein powder to make them a perfect filling snack to take to work with me.
Thank Holly- if you do add protein powder, up the almond milk a tad- I found when I added it in I needed more (I used a casein blend which is pretty thick!)
Ohhhh… these would make great pre-workout balls!
They started as balls but then got flattened…boom.
Scratch that, you should write a paleo breakfast ecookbook. You can make a paleo version of my pb &j chia pudding that also looks like diarrhea.
In other news. Come shakshuka all over this fine piece of meat. But for real, message me cause WE NEED TO CHAT.
Remember that time we had a three way?
LOLZ
Greatest day of Arman’s life.
Nightmare in text form.
Seriously, no one can make chia pudding look attractive.
I’ll save that recipe for when Niki visits.
I prefer no-bake because I’m so GD lazy. I can’t wait for our Paleo-Vegan-Raw marriage. I’m so grossed out right now
Gross indeed. It’s like a larabar meets beef jerky.
look at those studded almonds – can you just throw some my way…
I am terrible at throwing so they’d end up across my room… 😉
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉 Cookies & look so delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Easy is the best & with the heat – no bake is perfect!!!
Thank you, Cookie Queen!
I like no bake boy! or bad bass no baker!? either way, feed me these
Haha, done and DONE.
These look amazing! I’m going to have to try this recipe out. Looks like a good pre run snack.
Thank you so much, Amanda- hope you try them out!
These cookies are Spoons approved with all the almond love. Even I would try these, and I’m not a huge fan of almond butter (shh…don’t tell).
You are a great big brother. Making all this deliciousness for Niki and then testing it to make sure it’s good. Total necessity by the way.
Almond butter is totally at the bottom of my nut butter chain (well, above cashew butter, below peanut butter) but paleo police will come chase me with tree trunks.
Yums!!! These look so freaking good.
After my cookie debacle of last week (two batches that disappeared from my kitchen in a matter of hours), I’m not sure I can be trusted around these – however, I’m willing to take a risk.
Can’t wait to try!
Thanks Whit- Are they those amazing looking Vegan ones? Because I’m legit browning bananas purely to make them!
Hi no-bake boy. These look amaze, especially with a hugh jass handful of chocolate chippers and maybe some coconut, too. Any cookie that’s allowed to be called breakfast is good in my book!
When will you be releasing the kale cookie cookbook?
I must admit that I actually enjoy baking things and eating baked goods a smidgen more. But no-bake things will be my best friends in college. Also, anything with almond butter and coconut and oats is something worth making.
POTATOES. Mashed, baked, fried, sliced, chipped. So many different textures, still so awesome. Mmm.
Hahaha I can just imagine you doing it in your dorm room…making no bake cookies. #livingthelife.
Cookies for breakfast? I’m in! And its great that you frequently make no bake recipes. Perfect for these summer days and it absolutely appeals to my lazier side.
Haha, Mermaid, I have so many no bake recipes to post……oh geebuz.
I feel like I would get sick of being a quality control taste tester… it’s hard enough for me to tell differences in things as it is, I would drive myself nuts. PS love no bake recipes in the summer (even though it’s winter there xoxo)
Cheers, Cass…..I just read that you want to go to Japan. That better be AFTER Australia.
YUM! I need to make these ASAP… and get my hands on almond flour. I’ve never actually used that before, but these look great!
Thank you! Almond flour has a really mild, moreish taste 🙂
I don’t like coconut do you think they would work without or another substituition? Otherwise sounds super awesome!
Of course! Try this Donna- swap the coconut flour for more almond flour (or oat flour if you’re not paleo)- and the shredded coconut for an extra tablespoon of chopped nuts. However, reduce the milk used- coconut flour is extremely absorbent 🙂
Can anyone tell me how many carbs would be in each cookie? They look great!
Hi Mel! I haven’t put these into a calorie calculator and they depend on the number of cookies you produce from the batch- saying that, they are quite low in net carbs due to the high fiber count of the coconut. To keep the carbs lower, don’t add any dried fruits and even up the protein powder 🙂
Yummy! Do you think I could leave out the shredded coconut? I hate the texture. Also, could I sub honey or maple syrup for the coconut sugar?
Hi Bekah! You most certainly can leave out the shredded coconut- sub in the same amount of chopped nuts/almond flour. As for the coconut sugar- try honey instead of maple syrup as it’s less overpowering and adjust the milk to slightly less. 🙂
These sound amazing and so tasty and easy to make
Thank you- seriously, couldn’t be more easy!
These look absolutely delicious. Wish I had some now!
Thank you, Alison- next time I’ll make a double batch to share 😉
These look delicious, a healthy option with none of the nasties! I will be trying these at the weekend! #recipeoftheweek
Thank you, Hayley! Hope you tried them out 🙂
They look great. I love almonds and I’m trying to quit refined sugar snacks so this looks perfect. Thanks so much for linking up with #recipeoftheweek. Sorry I was particularly slow getting over for this one. I’ve pinned it to my food board and a tweet will go out shortly 🙂
Thank you, Emily- you and me both, these don’t have any of the nasties!
How many cookies do you get out of this recipe?
PS: Just found your blog and really like it <3
A no bake, one bowl, cookie that’s meant or breakfast!? Count me in! I’m always up for dessert for breakfast 😉 These look delicious!
Thanks so much, Alexis!
Great pictures. These look amazing, and I love the no bake piece to it…and the fact that I can have a cookie for breakfast!
Thanks Kelly- they are healthy enough to eat the whole batch!
No Bake Boy! not lazy, just… efficient! I love no bakes, I have three different kinds in the fridge right now, 2 are balls and one is a bar. after tomorrow, when I get a new batch of almonds, there will be another one in the fridge, YUM
Hahaha I’m sorry to be contributing to it. Balls, bars, bites. I’ll take the title 😉
No bake cookies and for breakfast, even better. I might be able to handle this. My secret is I really dislike baking. I can deal with bar cookies. I don’t mind making those. But the rest of it…well, I guess I am a work in progress.
You and me both, Michelle- Sometimes I just really cannot be bothered and especially if it ends up failing…
I would also be your taste tester if they would make it to the US! I love no-bake recipes so so much.
2 weeks time Mandy!!! 😀
Cookies for breakfast. I’m sold! I love almonds in any form and that they are no bake. I’m digging no bake boy, by the way!
Hahaha thanks so much, Miranda! 🙂
Hi! I can’t wait to try your No Bake Triple Almond Cookies! I also can’t wait to look thru the rest of your recipes. Quick question – the cookies call for ‘homemade paleo chocolate chunks’; can you please tell me where I can find a recipe for those? Thanks! Cindy
Word to the wise – if your almond butter comes with salt added, consider reducing the amount of salt to 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. I put in 3/4 teaspoon (recipe called for 1 teaspoon) and it was still too salty. But beyond that? It’s lovely and I’m grateful, Arman, for that creative brain of yours!
Hi Jennie! 🙂
Thanks so much for the feedback and the suggestion- I’m so sorry to have made you super salty cookies! Sending you some water 😉 🙂
Ha! No worries, Arman. They’ll keep in the freezer and I can snack on them when I am craving salt. I’ll have my very own salt lick. You know, the big block of salt that cattle lick away at. 😉 Enjoy your week.
