Yes, that’s right. On this occasion, cookies for breakfast are indeed suitable and good for you! These pumpkin, oat, and chocolate chip cookies are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, vegan, and unbelievably easy to make. Flavors are soft, mellow, and jazzed up by the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and pumpkin. The texture is tender and almost cake-like, although it can be crisped by increasing the baking time. Perfect to trick little ones into eating nutritious snacks. Not to mention the dreamy aroma that the cookies release while baking. Undeniably, one of my favorite recipes of the season.
It’s such a privilege to live in a world where there are Octobers… and pumpkins. Xx
