You can take the comfort and warmth of pumpkin spice with you. They might even be tempting enough to help you get your kids out of bed.
But what makes cookies acceptable for breakfast? Well, they have oats, fruit and eggs- which is what you may be eating for breakfast anyway. And, they don’t have refined sugar. These are dairy free and can be made gluten free if you source gluten free oats.

- Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silpat.

Good and not too sweet. My husband loves these! They’re not too sweet but yummy and filling enough to make a good “second breakfast” snack.
