Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
You know it’s going to be a good day when it starts with cookies! These Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies are wholesome and nutritious with whole grain rolled oats and no refined sugar, and they’re gluten-free!
I’m really get into the fall spirit. My Halloween decorations have been up, I visited a pumpkin patch yesterday and loaded up on pumpkins, and I’m using a ton of pumpkin in my recipes lately.
While I love starting my day with these healthy pumpkin muffins or pumpkin chocolate chip bread, it doesn’t get better than cookies for breakfast.
These pumpkin breakfast cookies have been a staple in my house for over a month, and they make for a pretty exciting breakfast.
These pumpkin oatmeal breakfast cookies are jam packed with wholesome ingredients, and they’re still delicious enough to feel like a treat.
They’re made with whole grain rolled oats, unrefined sugar and minimal oil, and have plenty of pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavor.
The dried cranberries add color and chewiness, the pepitas add protein and crunch, and the chocolate chips are just plain necessary.
Because chocolate makes everything better. 🙂
