These hearty and delicious Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies are a rather delightful way to enjoy a simple breakfast on the days you just want to keep things extra easy (and seasonal).
They are gluten free, dairy free, and egg free so they are great for all different types of dietary approaches. Plus, they are super forgiving, so feel free to tweak where needed to make them work for you.
I adore them with a cup of coffee in both the morning and the afternoon and my kids love them tucked into lunch boxes and as an afternoon snack.
