PUMPKIN BREAKFAST COOKIES

PUMPKIN BREAKFAST COOKIES

These healthy Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies make a nutritious and grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like fall! This gluten-free and clean eating breakfast treat is made with wholegrain oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds and honey.

I just flatten them a little bit, because these cookies won’t spread at all during baking. And if shaping individual cookies isn’t your thing, I’ve even had readers send me pictures of how they baked this recipe into pumpkin breakfast bars! Baking time may be a little longer, but this way you only need to cut them into shape after baking.

If this healthy pumpkin cookie recipe isn’t quite your thing, I have THREE other breakfast cookie recipes. Maybe these are more up your alley?

Recipe Notes

To make this recipe egg-free, many ready have commented that they used flax egg (or chia egg) as successful replacement.

To make vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave.
