Generous Oat Cookies – Martin Matin. Soft organic oat cookies with chocolate chips and raisins, gluten-free and vegan, for breakfast.

Generous Oat Cookies - Martin Matin are soft organic oat cookies with chocolate chips and raisins from the Generous biscuit bakery in Tubize, Belgium. Baked with 32% gluten-free oats, gluten-free and vegan according to the manufacturer, in a 150g pack.

Martin Matin by Generous is intended for the moment when the alarm clock rings too early. According to Generous, the character behind the cookie is a morning grouch who bakes themselves into a better mood with this treat. "Matin" is French for morning. So, Martin Matin is a breakfast cookie. In Belgium and France, this is a category of its own: cookies eaten with morning coffee, often containing grains and sold in individual portions. According to the manufacturer, the 150g pack contains five 30g portions. Unlike the brand's buttery sablés, Martin Matin is soft and contains no animal ingredients at all. Instead of butter, sustainably certified palm oil gives the dough its structure, while coconut flour and tapioca starch provide the binding.

Flavor

Martin Matin tastes of oats, chocolate, and raisins. At 32%, oats are the primary ingredient, giving the cookie a grainy, slightly nutty base note. Chocolate chips made from cocoa mass, sugar, and cocoa butter add dark accents.

The raisins bring fruity sweetness and a bit of juiciness to the soft dough. Cane sugar and sugar beet syrup provide a well-rounded, slightly malty sweetness. Cocoa powder in the dough enhances the chocolate note, while coconut flour adds a subtle touch in the background.

According to the manufacturer, Martin Matin is a soft cookie. Those looking for a crispy, crumbly cookie will find it too soft. For anyone who prefers something moist with their coffee in the morning, it is just right.

Usage

Martin Matin is made for the morning. It goes best with a latte, hot chocolate, or a cup of tea at the breakfast table. The 30g portion size makes it easy to carry in your bag if breakfast at home is rushed. You will have something to go with your coffee on the train, in the car, or at your desk.

The lunchbox for school or the office is also a good place for it. In the afternoon, it pairs well with a glass of oat milk or fresh fruit. Crumbled up, you can sprinkle it over yogurt, skyr, or a bowl of fruit salad. Combined with banana and a plant-based yogurt alternative, it turns into a vegan breakfast in a jar.

Allergen information: The cookies contain oats, which are gluten-free here. They may contain traces of hazelnuts, milk, and eggs.

Our tip: Pack a cookie and an apple in your bag the night before. That way, breakfast for the next morning is already sorted.
