Once I found this recipe, my mornings have changed forever as I now eat these cookies every day on my way to work. Since they are super easy to make, I make a batch of them almost every week.

Every year for thanksgiving, my aunt has always made countless batches of tiny pumpkin pies to give out to all of her family and friends. When November rolls around, I always get excited upon arrival, waiting for my batch of pies. Pumpkin pie has always been my favorite, but I nave never made one myself because I always receive my aunt’s pies. However, when I found the recipe for these pumpkin pie breakfast cookies, I can now enjoy my favorite holiday dessert year round. They are super easy to make and the taste is just as good as my aunt’s pies. Every Sunday, I take a trip to the grocery store to gather my ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, or nut free
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup quick oats
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Step One:

Begin by mixing all of the ingredients in a large bowl, stir well.

Step Two:

Using an ice cream/cookie scooper, make little balls of the batter on a cookie sheet places 2 inches apart from each-other. Then, by using your hands, lightly press the balls flat into the shape of a cookie.

Step Three:

Put in the oven set at 350°F for 13-15 minutes. Take out and enjoy.

Although this flavor of breakfast cookie is my favorite, there are many variations to the recipe you can use to create all types of cookies. For a full how to, and different variations of this recipe, check out the video below.
