Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
My mother sent me this recipe to try a while ago and I have finally made them. They are perfect to have with coffee or tea any time of the day really.
They are no only great to have for breakfast with yogurt or a piece of fruit but they are also a wonderful snack to have with tea or a glass of milk.
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup honey (or you can use 1 cup light brown sugar but less “Clean”
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 15 oz. can of canned pumpkin
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 beaten egg
How to Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Preheat over to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix all dry ingredients, oats, raisins and pecans in a bowl.
In a larger bowl, combine the pumpkin, applesauce, beaten egg and vanilla extract.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients mixing until moistened.
Spray baking sheets with cooking spray. Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto baking sheets about 2” apart. If you want a more flat cookie, press with spoon.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Cool on baking racks.

My daughter just made these for breakfast tomorrow. She doubled it but only put in 1/3 cup brown sugar for the whole batch. They are great! We aren’t raisin people and didn’t have nuts so she added chocolate chips instead. Excellent recipe! Thanks!
Sherri says
Wonderful to hear! Chocolate chips make anything more yummy don’t they?!
Kim says
