These pumpkin flavored healthy cookies make a great seasonal grab-and-go breakfast. With hearty wholegrain oats, cranberries and pumpkin seeds

Ingredients

  • coconut oil

    melted

    ¼ c
  • honey

    warmed gently if needed to make more liquid; or maple syrup

    ¼ c
  • rolled oats
    1 c
  • quick cooking oats
    1 c
  • dried cranberries

    preferably unsweetened

    ⅝ c
  • pumpkin seeds
    ⅝ c
  • ground flaxseed
    ¼ c
  • pumpkin pie spice

    or cinnamon

    1 tsp
  • sea salt
    ½ tsp
  • pumpkin puree
    ½ c
  • eggs

    * beaten

    2 large

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl combine both kinds of oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flax, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and melted coconut oil and honey. Stir until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Drop 1/4 cup sized scoops of the mixture onto a cookie sheet. I dip the measuring cup into the oat mixture to fill it up. Then I tap it onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and the dough already comes out looking like a cookie.

  4. 4

    Flatten the dough slightly (cookies won't spread while baking). Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Let cookies cool on baking sheet before moving to an airtight storage container.
