Scandi Blueberry Oat Breakfast Cookies with Vanilla Yogurt Whip
These wholesome breakfast cookies are a delicious and family-friendly way to start your day. The recipe echoes the Nordic love affair with wild berries, particularly the prized blueberries that grow abundantly across Sweden, Norway and Finland during the brief but brilliant summer months. The accompanying vanilla yogurt whip draws from the Scandinavian dairy tradition, where fermented dairy products have been dietary staples for centuries. This light, protein-rich accompaniment transforms a simple cookie into a complete breakfast experience, much like the elaborate Swedish “frukostbord” (breakfast table). These breakfast cookies provide sustained energy through complex carbohydrates from rolled oats, which contain beta-glucan fiber to help stabilize blood sugar levels and support heart health. The antioxidant-rich blueberries deliver vitamin C and anthocyanins, compounds that support cognitive function and may help reduce inflammation. The vanilla yogurt whip contributes probiotics for digestive health and high-quality protein to keep you satisfied throughout the morning. Kids also love the interactive nature of the recipe, and can have fun dipping the cookies into the yogurt or spreading it on top like frosting. Make up a double batch to have healthy breakfasts and snacks all week long.
