Flaxseed Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Makes: 12 cookies
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

• ½ cup ground flaxseed (linseed) (key for binding & nutrition!)

• 1 ripe banana, mashed (or ½ cup applesauce)

• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower)

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Optional mix-ins:

  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts

  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine mashed banana, honey, nut butter, and vanilla.

3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt until a thick dough forms. Fold in mix-ins.

4. Shape & bake: Scoop 1.5-tbsp portions onto the sheet; flatten slightly. Bake for 12–15 mins until edges are golden.

5. Cool for 10 mins (they firm up as they cool).

Why Flaxseed Rocks Here:

Binder: Ground flax replaces eggs (vegan-friendly!).
Nutrition boost: Packed with fiber, omega-3s, and lignans.
Meal-prep hero: Stays fresh for 5 days or freeze for 1 month.

Perfect for Breakfasts

Sprinkle Whole Linseed over porridge, muesli, yoghurt or breakfast bowls for extra texture.

You can also grind the seeds before adding them to smoothies or shakes when you prefer a smoother result.

Great for Bread & Baking

Add Linseed to bread dough, muffins, crackers, homemade muesli bars and savoury baking.

Whole seeds provide texture, while freshly ground flaxseed blends more evenly into doughs and batters.

Make Homemade Seed Crackers

Linseed is particularly useful in seed crackers, where it can be combined with sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds and seasonings.

Its ability to absorb moisture helps bring seed mixtures together during preparation.

Sprinkle Over Salads & Soups

Add Whole Linseed to salads, soups and roasted vegetables just before serving for a mild nutty flavour and subtle crunch.

Lightly toasting the seeds can create a deeper, nuttier aroma.

Grind Fresh as You Need It

Whole Linseed can be ground in a suitable spice or seed grinder whenever you need freshly ground flaxseed for smoothies, baking or breakfast recipes.

Keeping the seeds whole until required also gives you flexibility in how you use them.

Linseed or Flaxseed – What’s the Difference?

For food shopping purposes, linseed and flaxseed refer to the same plant seed.

In New Zealand, customers commonly search for both “linseed” and “flaxseed,” so using both terms on this page makes the product easier to find.
