We talk about cookbooks a lot around here because, let’s face it, we’re obsessed. Do we cook out of all of them? No. But do we collect them and page through them for ideas and drool at the incredible photography and inventive ideas? Absolutely. And these breakfast cookies are out of one of our favorite new cookbooks. Keep reading for more!
About the book: Love Real Food
This recipe is from the talented Kathryne Taylor, author of one of our favorite food blogs, Cookie and Kate. Kathryne just released a cookbook called Love Real Food. We connected with Kathryne back in 2010 when we started A Couple Cooks, immediately connecting over our shared love of Michael Pollan and cooking with lots of veg. Kathryne cooks real food along with her puppy Cookie. Why we love her: not only because she’s a friend, but she cooks in a very similar style to ours. It’s heavy on the veg, filling, colorful, beautiful, and healthy-ish. Kathryne’s recipes are also very repeatable and full of helpful notes. I know that if we make one of her recipes, it will absolutely work out.
Making these breakfast cookies
It’s no exaggeration when I say we’re in deep smit with these breakfast cookies. They’re hearty, tasty, and the texture is just right: pleasantly chewy, almost like a Cliff bar–but better! They’re flecked with bright orange carrots and studded with walnuts and spices. I’m a big carrot cake lover, so is was my perfect flavor! (PS Got carrots left over? See our top carrot recipes.)
These breakfast cookies are also easily portable for traveling or breakfast on the go. I made a batch of them and since we were travelling the next day, I took a few along in my purse wrapped in plastic wrap and froze the rest. They’ve been a perfect snack (or even dessert) right from the freezer. They thaw quickly, and they’re just as tasty as when we first baked them!
Overall, we cannot recommend this book enough: it’s colorful, inventive, seasonal, and full of everyday recipes for the beginning cook to the foodie. Congratulations, Kathryne, on an incredible accomplishment! Scroll down for the breakfast cookies recipe.
