Paleo Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
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.
