Cookies for Breakfast? YES!

I didn’t initially know what to call these as Low FODMAP Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Breakfast Cookies is a mouthful. They are lightly sweetened with maple syrup. They feature all kinds of crunchy (pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas), chewy (dried cranberries), healthy (oats, hemp and flax) ingredients and they are indeed in cookie form.

But my intention was to create a cookie that I would feel okay about eating for breakfast. And therefore, feel okay about suggesting to you for breakfast! I give you Low FODMAP Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Breakfast Cookies!

I suggest that you do not wait. Run to the store then run to the kitchen and make these right now. They can be whipped up in the time it takes for the oven to preheat and then…drum roll please…you will have “cookies” that are healthy and satisfying enough for breakfast (or a late night snack) and ever so portable.

Wrap one up in plastic wrap the night before or grab one as you are running out the door.

I find myself nibbling on one as I drive to the gym and it makes me feel simultaneously a little indulgent and smart at the same time! They go so well with a cup of hot tea (my choice) or coffee.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

  1. Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 325°F/165°C. Line a half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper; set aside

  2. In a large mixing bowl place the oats, flour, cranberries, Pepitas, flax seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, baking powder and salt and whisk together to blend and combine. Make a well in the center.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, maple syrup, oil and vanilla. Pour onto dry mixture and fold together very well. Dole out 10 cookies, each a scant ¼ cup (60 ml) in size, evenly spaced on the prepared pan. Don’t worry because they will not spread much at all. Press each one down using your palm so that the cookies are about 1/2-inch (12 mm) thick.

  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until dry on the bottom (you should be able to lift a cookie) and just beginning to take on some color. Cool pan completely on rack. Cookies are ready to eat or may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. One of our community members Marti Beck, said she has frozen these successfully, placed in fridge overnight, and eaten straightaway and that they were fantastic! In her words, "Texture, taste and everything was great!"

Notes:

Tips

  • These cookies are hearty! The batter is a bit dense – make sure that you do press them down gently before baking so that they bake evenly.
