These Healthy Pumpkin Cookies are a fall treat that embodies the flavors of the season while keeping your wellness goals in check. They are perfect for indulging without the guilt. So, whip up a batch, brew a cup of tea, and savor the tastes of autumn in every bite.
I hate to be the one to say it….but summer is coming to a close and fall is right around the corner. Costco proved that last week with their Christmas tree display :/  I’m not thrilled about it either…not like my daughter Piper who can’t wait to wear combat boots and warm, cozy sweaters! Alas, there is not much we can do to slow time, but we can get into the fall spirit by making these fabulous breakfast cookies!
You can add whatever mix-ins you like but I went with chopped dates, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and coconut.
