Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
Description
The Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies combine pumpkin puree and rolled oats with a batter sweetened by maple syrup and gently spiced with pumpkin pie spice for a seasonal flavor profile. Additional texture and nutrients come from add-ins like dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, chia, flax, and hemp seeds. The dough is portioned out and baked until just puffed, resulting in tender cookies with chewy centers and soft edges.
The flavors emphasize pumpkin and warm spice without overwhelming sweetness, while the seeds and oats provide a satisfying bite. These cookies use baking powder for a slight lift, and the coconut oil adds moisture and richness to the texture.
Served cooled, these cookies work well for breakfast or on-the-go snacks. They are suitable for preparing ahead and storing for quick access to a wholesome baked good that combines fruit, grains, and seeds in one.
