Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies | Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gluten Free Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies – Healthy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe!
These pumpkin breakfast cookies are made with real pumpkin, oats, nuts, and raisins, and they taste like chewy, soft-baked granola treats. There’s nothing wrong with cookies for breakfast—when they’re this delicious AND nutritious!
And, the fragrant blend of cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg makes every bite so comforting. For a bit of extra holiday-time indulgence, I made these chocolate chip cookies! Or, use cacao nibs instead for a lower-sugar nutritional boost.
Either way, these goodies are still loaded with wholesome fuel to power you through the morning!
Cookies, Chock-full of FUEL
Pumpkin seeds and pecans are both great sources of healthy, satiating fats, as well as dietary fiber to keep you feeling full. And, they add a satisfying crunch to your chewy pumpkin breakfast cookies—which I am ALL about.
With oats as the main ingredient, each cookie is also full of slow-digesting carbs for longer-lasting energy. Plus, oats keep these wholesome pumpkin breakfast cookies whole grain and gluten free!
At just over 200 calories each, they’re a tasty meal prep breakfast that make on-the-go mornings SO much more fun.
