Pumpkin Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

A seasonal cookie recipe made super simple with just a few ingredients, most of which are probably already right there in your pantry: Pumpkin Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies!

Loaded with protein, complex carbs, healthy fats and of course rich and creamy flavor, you'll be thinking oh my yum as you support your eat better goals!

This particular recipe yields a smaller batch, about 8-10 cookies, making it great for those sudden cravings or for smaller households, but you can easily double the batch to make more.

I like to make half the batch with mini chocolate chocolate chips (for when I'm craving something a bit sweeter), and the other half with just pumpkin peanut butter and oats for more of a breakfast style cookie.

Ingredients

• 1 banana, mashed

• 4 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter

• 2 Tbsp. pumpkin puree

• 1 Tbsp. honey

• 1 tsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 C oats (can use gluten free)

• 1/4 C mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mash banana and combine all ingredients with a spoon in a medium size mixing bowl.

3. Scoop dough by large spoonful onto cookie sheet.

4. Bake for 10 - 15 min (or until lightly golden brown on edges)

5. Remove from oven and cool about 5 minutes before serving.

Eat and Enjoy!
