Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
These Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies blend pumpkin puree and almond butter with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, offering a soft yet slightly chewy texture. They include oat flour and old-fashioned oats for hearty substance, with optional chocolate chips and dried cranberries adding sweet and tart bursts. Finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, they balance sweet and savory notes. These cookies make a convenient treat for mornings or snacks when you want something flavorful and satisfying without heaviness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup almond butter creamy
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch cloves
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries optional
- sea salt for sprinkling on top, flaky
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, almond butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir until just combined. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries, if using.
- Let the dough sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so the oats can soak into the mixture a little. Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie. I flatten them out a little bit with the back of a spoon because they don't spread much.
- Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes or until they’re set, but still a little soft in the center.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
