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.

These look amazing! I have a friend who adores anything pumpkin – he’s going to swoon! Pinned!
YUM!! I just made these. They are going to be a perfect replacement for granola bars in the kids school lunchs and for breakfasts on the go! (I did not have allspice, so I used nutmeg, but decreased the amount to 1/4t.)
Hey Jane,
So glad to hear you all liked them! Thanks for the feedback!!
I’m curious what the serving size is. All ten cookies? And what are the stats (calories, fat, sugars, etc?)
HI Michele,
Sorry I don’t know the calories, fats, sugars etc. This should help: http://caloriescount.com/FoodCalculator.aspx
Hey Jessica, thanks for the article. I clicked in and saw the caloriescount link is now broken. This site has big nutritional database for counting calories https://www.caloriequality.com/foods/s/ref=health in case anyone finds it useful now.
I don’t usually comment on blogs, but I had to on this one. I made these a few nights ago for breakfast, and they are perfect! I love the pumpkin/peanut butter combo, and I love that they have some protein. I did substitute honey for the maple syrup, since I didn’t have any maple syrup. Yum. Thanks so much!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed them Sara! Thanks so much for the feedback. 🙂
I just discovered your site and I love it! Great recipes! Have you tried making the cookies with old fashioned oats? I wonder if that would make them too dense. I will give it a whirl this weekend and try to remember to report back.
Hi Kellene,
Sorry I’m just getting back to you! Old fashioned oats wouldn’t work since yes, they would be too dense and take longer to cook (burning the other ingredients). However, if you do try them and they work, let me know! Hope that helps!
Hi Jessica – I finally got around to making these today. Oh wow! So good. I love the peanut butter and pumpkin combo. I may add a touch more maple syrup next time to satisfy the sweet tooths (sweet teeth?) around here. Me, I think they’re perfect!
SO glad you enjoyed them Kellene!! Thanks for the feedback. 🙂
I just found your site and decided to make these breakfast cookies. They have to be the BEST breakfast cookies I’ve made so far! Thanks so much for the recipe! I’ll be back to your site soon! 😉
I’m so glad you enjoyed them Robin! You’re so welcome and thanks so much for the feedback!! 🙂
Thanks Tash!!
What is the nutritional value of these cookies… eg. calories? protein? sugar??
They sound so yummy! I’ll make them for sure but I am also trying to lose weight 🙂
Hi Louise! I’m not sure but I do know it’s low in sugar but good in protein and quite healthy for you! I hope that helps – I don’t have the calorie count!
