Hemp Hearts (aka Hemp Seeds) in Breakfast Cookies
A great way to make cookies nutritious enough for breakfast is to add healthy ingredients such as hemp hearts! Hemp hearts have a slightly nutty flavor, and their texture is slightly crunchy with a chewy factor as well. They are a wonderful addition to keto breakfast cookies.
If you’ve never heard of hulled hemp seeds (also called hemp hearts) before, they’re the whole seeds from the Cannabis sativa plant with the crunchy outer shell removed.
Yes, they’re from the same species as cannabis (marijuana), but from a different variety, and hemp hearts contain only trace amounts of THC. Hemp seeds are nutrient-rich and delicious! (Read more about hemp seeds on Healthline.)

Hemp seed hearts are a rich in protein, fiber, and fat, and low in carbohydrates. Therefore, hemp seeds are a great option for the keto diet!

More Keto Breakfast Ideas
For a lot of people who follow a ketogenic lifestyle, bacon and eggs are a breakfast staple, and for good reason. It’s a hearty, easy, delicious, and relatively cheap low-carb high-fat meal.
However, the problem is, what do we eat when we get sick of eggs? I want to show that there are plenty of keto breakfast options available other than eggs, and additionally, eggs can be quite versatile.
