Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast Cookies for Busy Mornings

I love that these flourless cookies are a great on the go breakfast for mornings like those when you volunteered to help at the kids school. Or when you are running late for work because you just needed five more minutes to sleep because maybe like me your terrible at setting a “bedtime” for yourself. I’m not a morning person so these cookies were made for me. Literally. But my kids love them too so I guess I have to share. They have the perfect pumpkin and autumn spice flavor, they have a soft and chewy texture and those little bits of chocolate just make them sing!

Ingredients You’ll Need for This Recipe

Canned pumpkin Honey Coconut oil Egg Vanilla Spices – cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg Salt Oats Ground flax seet Walnuts Mini chocolate chips

Can I Use Pumpkin Pie Spice Instead?

You can substitute 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice here instead of the spices listed.

Why Use Both Kinds of Oats?

I’ve made these using all rolled oats then using a blend of rolled and quick oats (which is the next photo pictured). Each way works fine but the quick oats make the mixture a little easier to handle if that’s important to you. Either way you are going to end up with one delicious breakfast cookie that’s absolutely perfect for fall mornings!

How to Make Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies

Preheat oven and line baking shet. Whisk together pumpkin, honey, oil, egg, vanilla and spices. Stir in oats, flax, walnuts and chocolate chips. Scoop out using a greased measuring cup and drop onto baking sheet, flatten cookies slightly. Bake until set.

They Wouldn’t Be the Same Without Chocolate

There is only 1/3 cup chocolate chips in this recipe but since they are mini you get plenty of that indulgent chocolate flavor in each bite. I wouldn’t omit them, they add lots of flavor. Then the walnuts in these add a nice texture and make them more filling so I don’t recommend leaving those out either.

Store a Batch in the Fridge to Eat Throughout the Week

Since it’s the weekend it’s the perfect time to make a batch to keep them stocked in your fridge for the week ahead. Helloooo autumn baking, pumpkin spices…and cookies for breakfast! Busy mornings just got a whole lot better with these cookies, trust me!
