Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, honey or maple syrup, and egg. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, cinnamon, and any additional spices you choose. This will help evenly distribute the flavors in your cookies.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you are using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your Pumpkin Oat Breakfast Cookies warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- Soften Ingredients: Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the cookies while baking; they can go from perfect to overdone quickly.
- Store Properly: Use an airtight container to keep your cookies fresh for longer.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to try different add-ins or spices to create your signature version.
