These Barley Turmeric Breakfast Cookies are loaded with the goodness of whole grains. These are wholesome breakfast cookies, very handy when you are on travel or have no time to make an elaborate breakfast.

The ingredients used for these Barley Turmeric Breakfast Cookies are the staple pantry ingredients. Barley flour and Oat flour are the star ingredients for this recipe. Barley has a low Glycemic index so keeps you full for a longer time. Addition of Oat flour adds a lot more nutrients to the cookies.

This recipe will yield 18 cookies each of 215 kcal with 28 grams of Carbs, 12 grams of Sugar and 3 grams of Protein.

I have ground Pearl barley in a heavy duty blender and used it. Hulled barley is said to have a better nutrition profile. But they take a little longer to cook. I was not sure if they would alter the texture of these cookies. Maybe the next time, I will try this recipe with hulled barley.

Adding turmeric to these cookies further increases the nutrient quotient. Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence. Turmeric is a staple spice in every Indian kitchen and adding a few spoonfuls of ground turmeric lends a vibrant golden color to these cookies.

If you make these cookies, I will be happy to see your comments. Please check out some more cookie recipes of mine here.

How to make the cookies Vegan

Converting this recipe to a vegan version is quite simple. You only need to use a plant based milk in place of dairy milk. And use coconut oil in place of ghee. Tatewise there will be no difference between the vegan and the non Vegan versions.
