These healthy pumpkin oat breakfast cookies are quick, easy, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with simple pantry ingredients, they are naturally sweetened and packed with cozy fall flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, ⅓ cup maple syrup, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
  3. Stir in 2 cups old-fashioned oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix until evenly coated. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky.
  4. If using mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit), fold them in gently.
  5. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each scoop with the back of a spoon to about ½-inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly firm to the touch. Do not overbake.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.

Notes

If batter looks too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk (dairy or non-dairy). If too wet, add an extra tablespoon of oats. Do not skip parchment paper. Flatten cookies before baking. Let cool completely for best texture. Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
