PUMPKIN BREAKFAST COOKIES
These healthy Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies make a nutritious and grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like fall! This gluten-free and clean eating breakfast treat is made with wholegrain oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds and honey.
I just flatten them a little bit, because these cookies won’t spread at all during baking. And if shaping individual cookies isn’t your thing, I’ve even had readers send me pictures of how they baked this recipe into pumpkin breakfast bars! Baking time may be a little longer, but this way you only need to cut them into shape after baking.
