Get the family together and serve up these delicious gluten free on-the-go Healthy Pumpkin Oat Breakfast Cookies. Perfect for busy mornings!
Healthy Pumpkin Oat Breakfast Cookies work brilliantly for breakfast or snack time paired with a warm cup of coffee or cold glass of milk. Cookies for breakfast… maybe just one, or two, three, or even four? Yes please! They are completely guilt free and I am totally fine if my kids want to eat a bunch of these. Packed with oats, pecans, almonds, pumpkin puree then laced with natural maple syrup adds good healthy fiber, fats and vegetables to a daily diet.
We have been making as many pumpkin recipes as possible for the fun of pumpkin season! I think any pumpkin smell is impressive as soon as it leaves the oven. Big C keeps wanting processed breakfast bars – in which that is fine sometimes – but there comes a point where mama has to pull the plug on the addiction. I wanted to create a breakfast cookie that is equally as moist and melts in your mouth to satisfy that “Nutri-Grain Bar” “melt in your mouth” consistency.
It takes about 5 minutes to whip up then pop them beauties in the oven, bake until golden brown and enjoy the fragrant aromas of pumpkin pie spices!
