These breakfast cookies are just as good with a cup of coffee as they are crumbled over a bowl of yogurt. The minimal sugar within the recipe is made up for with chopped dates and candied ginger: once baked, they take on a satisfying burst of sweetness akin to chocolate chips. You can also abandon the whole breakfast idea and use them as an ice cream topper...just a suggestion! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for months. Recipe inspired by The Vibrant Table.

Directions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Combine the flours, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the almond milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and fold together.
- Step 2
Finely chop the ginger and dates, and add to the batter along with the cocoa nibs. Using a teaspoon cookie scoop, drop cookies onto the prepared tray.
- Step 3
Bake for 15 minutes, until the tops of the cookies are golden brown. In the meantime, combine the extra coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Take the cookies out of the oven and while they’re warm place the sugar mixture in a fine mesh sieve and dust over the tops of the cookies.
