Chocolate Chip Coconut Breakfast Cookies, also known as mounds bar breakfast cookies at our house, are a simple breakfast treat that can be made ahead and freeze great.
These breakfast cookies are a simple breakfast treat that my family loves!
Who doesn’t love the idea of cookies for breakfast? I think everyone loves being able to have a cookie for breakfast and these cookies are a simple oatmeal breakfast cookies made extra special with the addition of coconut and chocolate.
If you want to make these a little healthier you can easily leave the chocolate out, but they are better with chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips added.
These chocolate chip coconut breakfast cookies are great made ahead and kept in the refrigerator or freezer for busy mornings.
You can eat these cold or room temperature, but my family enjoys them heated up in the microwave. They are also easy to make gluten free by using gluten free oats.

I added 2 TB Chia seeds and toasted the coconut. My scoop is smaller so I will get at least 3 dozen cookies. First two trays are in the oven and the kitchen smells wonderful!
