Low Sugar Gluten Free Breakfast Oatmeal Cookie Sandwich With Cinnamon Yogurt Filling

October 31, 2019 by Mia Zarlengo 10 Comments

I could not wait to share this recipe with you all! My new favorite on-the-go breakfast, made with my all time favorite siggi’s yogurt flavor- no sugar added banana cinnamon! I’m completely obsessed with this flavor—it’s always been impossible to find a flavored yogurt without tons of sugar added until siggi’s changed the game.

Sometimes you just want something a little fancier than plain yogurt! The siggi’s blue lid labels are all flavors that are simply sweetened with fruit, with no added sugars in the mix.

While I love a good savory breakfast, often I crave something sweeter to enjoy with my coffee. Bonus points if it’s something quick that doesn’t take up extra time in my morning!

The extra creamy banana cinnamon yogurt is sandwiched between two lower sugar almond butter oatmeal cookies for the perfect filling, satisfying, and easy grab-and-go breakfast (or snack!). The cookies are super easy to make, and make the perfect amount for the week. You can keep them premade in the freezer, or have the cookies and yogurt ready to go to make fresh cookie sandwiches quickly in the mornings. Pro tip: these would be amazing with any of siggi’s no added sugar line if you want to change it up!

The oatmeal cookies are made with simple, wholesome ingredients like oats, almond butter, and almond flour. Plus, they are refined sugar free and instead lightly sweetened with coconut sugar– a more natural sweetener option. The siggi’s yogurt is the perfect filling for these for that ultra creamy addition, while adding a boost of protein, healthy probiotics, and extra flavor without any added sugar. These cookie sandwiches are just so delish!

Description

Yummy low sugar gluten free breakfast cookies made with simple ingredients, like almond flour and oats. Filled with the most delicious banana cinnamon yogurt filling for a quick and easy breakfast or snack! 


Scale

Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ¾ cup old fashioned oats (gluten free if needed)
  • ¼ cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

  •  1 single serve (5.3 oz) siggi’s banana & cinnamon yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (almond four, rolled oats, oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk all wet ingredients (egg, coconut sugar, avocado oil, almond butter, and vanilla extract) together until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then set dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This helps the dough to be less sticky and easier to scoop into cookies.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Scoop dough onto parchment paper into 10-12 cookies, then use hands to smooth dough and slightly flatten the dough.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to completely cool.
  7. Store in the refrigerator to make cookie sandwiches on the go. I add 2-3 tbsp of yogurt per sandwich, but you can fill them as much as you’d like!*

Notes

*Note, you can also fill the cookies ahead of time and freeze them, but you will need to allow them to thaw before enjoying so making them fresh is preferred.

    I absolutely *love* this recipe. I usually just make them as cookies instead of assembling into sandwiches. Also, because I’m lazy and don’t want to blend oats to make oat flour, I usually just sub almond flour for the oat flour and they always turn out great. I’ve also made a few batches where I added in a handful of butterscotch chips which was amazing. Love these cookies!

    Made these for my office one winter morning and everyone went nuts! Amazing flavor, the yogurt in the middle makes them feel decadent on a great way and adds protein. 100% going to remake!

    Is it possible to substitute maple syrup for coconut sugar?

      I haven’t tried it- they may turn out a little more dry but it might be fine! Let me know if you do!

    Just made these for my family and they turned out sooo fluffy! Used melted coconut oil instead of avocado and couldn’t tell the difference:)

      I’m not sure what the results will be since I haven’t made it that way! xo

definitely not here to brag about my summer roll w definitely not here to brag about my summer roll wrapping game (🥲), BUT you do need this spicy almond butter sauce in your life!! this is one of my weekly go-to meals. i use whatever i have on hand- these have butter lettuce, shredded cabbage, bell pepper, and air fried tofu. so perfect!! you can also make the sauce nut free with sunflower butter- link in bio for the recipe! 

for the tofu:
press out liquid, slice into strips, and spray with a little avocado oil. season with any seasonings you like, then air fry at 400 for 10 mins or so until crisp. they will puff up a lot but deflate once out of the air fryer!
