    They are not 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 Needed

    2 cups Old fashioned Rolled Oats

    1-½ cups all-purpose flour or Oat flour

    1 teaspoon baking soda

    1 teaspoon salt

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    ½ teaspoon nutmeg

    ¼ teaspoon allspice

    1 cup raisins

    ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

    15 ounce can of pumpkin

    ¾ cup honey

    ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 beaten egg

    Variations/Substitutions

    Use maple syrup instead of honey

    Use gluten free flour like Bob’s One-to-One Gluten Free Flour

    Add walnuts instead of pecans

    Leave out the raisins, if preferred.

    How to Make these Pumpkin Cookies

    Preheat over to 350° degrees.

    In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, spices, oats, raisins and pecans (if adding) in a bowl.

    In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin, applesauce, honey, 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!
