After making my first batch of breakfast cookies a few weeks ago, I have been eating them for breakfast every morning and using as much self control not to turn this into a food blog dedicated solely to breakfast cookie recipes.
If this is your first time venturing into grain free breakfast cookies, let me give you a quick overview.
These Paleo Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies are like the top of a muffin, soft, moist, and exactly what your busy mornings need. You can make a big batch, freeze them and then grab one or two to eat on the go when you are running out the door.
As this is the season of everything pumpkin flavoured, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and make a pumpkin spice breakfast cookie. Adding pumpkin puree to the batter makes the cookies incredibly moist and a combination of cloves, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg gives them a delicious autumn spiced flavour.
I like keeping these Paleo Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies simple with just chopped pecans and a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top, but you can add a bit more chewy texture by also tossing in a handful of raisins.
Here are a few more pumpkin recipes that you might enjoy…

These were so good and so easy to make!! Was worried they wouldn’t be very sweet, but they were the perfect amount of sweetness.
These are delicious! Thank you! What is the serving size for the calories provided?
Delicious! I added a TBS of coconut sugar just for fun and had to bake longer just because I made HUGE cookies. Seriously loving your SCD recipes!! Thank you!
Hi- I am curious if these could be made with coconut flour and cassava? Or another gluten-free alternative? I have a sensitivity to almonds. Thanks- they sound delish and would love to make them!
Yummy healthy cookies.
hi, sounds yummy. Should the Coconut oil be in liquid form? or like shortening?
The coconut oil should be melted.
I’m new to grain-free and these are the first thing I’ve made. I added 1/3 c coconut flour because the dough was very wet. I also added unsweetened coconut chips with the pecans. Very delicious! Thank you!
Happy they turned out well!
