PRESENTATION

Cereal cookies? Oh, they totally bring a fresh twist to breakfast cookies. Seriously good stuff. Mix oat and rice flour with a bunch of dried fruit, and look, you're onto something awesome. Forget about butter, eggs, or anything with lactose—these cookies have a genuine taste that’s lighter than your average cookie. You get this wild mix of moist texture from the dried fruit and a bit of crispy bite from the grains. So every bite? Different. For sure. Perfect for those who want something filling in the morning but don’t want the hassle of making porridge.

And listen, while they're not exactly a traditional Italian thing, they totally fit into today’s healthier breakfast scene. Perfect for anyone who wants to feel really good about what they’re eating first thing in the day.

Many folks are super surprised by how much flavor you get from these cereal cookies. They’re not just for breakfast—they make a great quick snack when you need an energy boost. Plus, no butter or eggs to weigh you down. Using oat and rice flour keeps things light, and the dried fruit pops with sweet flavor in every bite.

For anyone who’s ever tried no-bake cookies or cornflake cookies, these offer a different texture, focusing on being tender and chewy instead of just crunchy. Thing is, in Italian homes, breakfast sometimes gets skipped or rushed, but these cookies make it easy to have something filling. And look, they’ve got that homey, tangy taste from all the fruit and a wholesome feel that’s hard to find in regular cookies.

Whether you’re new to easy cookie recipes or just want something quick that works for the whole family, these cookies check all the boxes—quick, practical, and seriously tasty every single time. And the best part? They’re super easy to make, so you can whip up a batch without any fuss, making them a favorite for busy mornings or a fast snack. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea, and you’ll start your day off right.

How to prepare Cereal Cookies

To make the cereal cookies, take a mixer with blades and pour in the rice flour 1, rolled oats 2, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda 3.

At this point, pour in the sunflower seed oil 4 and the mix of almonds, raisins, and hazelnuts 5. Blend everything to obtain a floury mixture, then add the almond milk 6.

Give it another spin with the blades to mix 7, then take a small portion of dough about 1.4 ounces and form a ball 8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the balls on it 9.

Press down on the balls with your hands 10 to flatten them evenly 11, then bake them in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 15/18 minutes. Once baked, remove the cereal cookies from the oven and let them cool before enjoying them 12.
