Easy Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
I have great news friends and it involves pumpkin, chocolate chips, oatmeal and cookies for breakfast. Yes, I’m speaking of pumpkin breakfast cookies. The name given to cookies that once realised could easily by the ingredients in your oatmeal (these are actually variations of the ingredients in my daily oatmeal) are given the name cookies because, who doesn’t want to have cookies for breakfast?! I want to have these pumpkin breakfast cookies for breakfast. Every day.
Now that that’s over, back to these pumpkin breakfast cookies.
Breakfast Pumpkin Cookies
I’ve seen the breakfast cookies phenomenon around but really got into trying to create a fall theme breakfast cookies. Not only do I love pumpkin (thanks mom!) but I’m a fan of all things delicious and healthy. People tend to get scared when they hear vegan cookies but I mean this in all the right ways. These cookies are soft, chewy, hold together well, somehow slightly creamy due to the peanut butter and just the right amount of sweetness that you’d allow in your oatmeal (plus a little). I loved these cookies; we all did.
If you’re like me and actually prefer lighter desserts to decadent desserts, it could easily double as dessert. Last month I picked up quick oats by accident and notice they almost melted away, but finally found a great purpose for them! They work perfectly here because instead of adding too much chew, they add the firm cookie but melt-in-your-mouth effect. Combined with the always accepted flavour of sweet pumpkin, and of course, chocolate chips. I didn’t have much seeds on hand, but I would also add some seeds in there if you wanted to, and feel free to experiment with different kinds of nut butters!
This is one cookie I will definitely be getting into a whole lot more.

I’m loving the fact that pumpkin is in season. I have a stash in my fridge right now. Will give this a try in the upcoming days.
Thanks Charlene and hope you like it!
It must feel so good to ditch those crutches! Breakfast cookies are the best. Love this pumpkin chocolate chip version!
Haha definitely! Thanks Christin!
Jess, these cookies are definitely more healthy than the brownies I had for breakfast and they look just as delicious! I’m printing this recipe out so that I can make these for breakfast! I can’t believe you were on crutches for 5 months!! Thank goodness you’re almost recovered 100%. I’m legally blind and can’t see ANYTHING without my glasses (which I’ve been wearing since the 2nd grade). I think all the time how devastated I’d be if I lost my sight completely. You’re right – we should always appreciate being able bodied.
Thanks so much Nancy!! Yes our senses are ability to walk are so important – I’m so glad you still have your sight girl that is crazy! I also hope you enjoy the cookies 🙂 🙂
