I don’t which part of this recipe is most exciting: pumpkin, breakfast, or cookies? Ok, let’s be real…it’s got to be the cookie. Chellie, over at Art From My Table, designed these tasty treats to fill you up and get you moving in the morning – hassle free! And why limit yourself to breakfast? These 21 Day Fix Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies are perfect snacks throughout the day, or even to satisfy your sweets craving after dinner. Who cares? Just eat them. They’re good 😉
21 Day Fix Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
Makes 12 cookies.
Each serving = 2 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups pumpkin puree
- 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil (warmed so it’s liquid)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ⅔ cups almond meal
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ⅔ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup pepitas
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
Combine the pumpkin, syrup, coconut oil and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well
Add rolled oats, almond meal, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and coconut and stir well
Fold in pepitas and chocolate chips.
Using roughly 2 Tbs, form the mixture into balls and place on the baking sheet
Once they are all rolled, gently press to flatten just a bit. You should still have a thick cookie
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Pepitas are the green pumpkin seeds. I find mine at my local health food store. Walnuts or pecans could be substituted for the pepitas, or added to the recipe.
