What happens when you combine our favorite Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies?
The perfect fall breakfast: Pumpkin Pie Breakfast Cookies with Whole Oats.
Just throw everything together in one big mixing bowl, bake and bam. A gluten-free, make-ahead breakfast that’s not too sweet but boy is it satisfying.
My eight-year-old called these “srum-deli-icious” and my mom suggested packaging them to sell.
So, I’m just saying. This recipe’s a keeper.
What makes these pumpkin pie breakfast cookies special
- They’re lightly sweetened, and only with maple syrup.
- Full of whole oats, these breakfast cookies are satisfying and filling.
- Omega-rich chia seeds add lots of brain-boosting power to breakfast.
- You can never go wrong with dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips.
How to make pumpkin pie breakfast cookies with whole oats
Gather your ingredients and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix everything together in one big bowl.
Scoop onto a very greased baking sheet. (I’d even add a spray of non-stick oil to these non-stick baking sheets next time!)
For an extra toasty top, or to reheat later on, broil on LOW for an additional 2-3 minutes.

I’m so glad my kids don’t like ‘granola’, so I can eat all these! I love a nice grab-and-go food. Plus I’ll be taking a flight next week and I’m pretty sure my friend’s going be quite pleased when I pull these out on the flight!
Ha! Awesome! Have a great trip.
