Ingredients:
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour (blend rolled oats in a food processor)
- 2 tablespoons miNATURALS Inulin Powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely chopped dried apricots
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- Zest of one orange (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, miNATURALS Inulin Powder, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. This powerful combination of fiber-rich ingredients forms the foundation for effective constipation relief in a delicious format.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth and well incorporated. The liquid ingredients help activate the natural constipation relief properties of the inulin and other fibers.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped apricots, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and orange zest if using. The dried apricots not only add flavor but also contribute additional fiber for enhanced constipation relief.
Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes—this gives the oats and inulin time to absorb moisture, creating a more cohesive dough and enhancing the constipation relief benefits of the final product.
Using a ¼-cup measuring cup or large cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand—these hearty breakfast cookies won’t spread much during baking.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers still feel slightly soft. For those seeking constipation relief, it’s important not to overbake, as maintaining moisture in the cookies preserves the functional properties of the inulin.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. As they cool, the natural constipation relief ingredients continue to set, creating the perfect chewy texture.
These Apricot Inulin Breakfast Cookies showcase how delicious constipation relief can be—store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for a ready-to-enjoy breakfast that supports digestive wellness from the first bite of your day.
