Healthy pumkin breakfast cookies


What do you typically have for breakfast?  What are the criteria that guide your choices for your first meal of the day?  Me, I want something that satisfies me and gives me energy all morning, like these cookies.  Plus I can munch on them while driving to work.


Healthy pumkin breakfast cookies

Ingredients 


1/2 cup                                        Pumkin puree

1/4 cup                                        Peanut butter

1 tablespoon                              Milk of choice

1/4 cup                                        Maple syrup

1 teaspoon                                 Pumpkin spice

1 teaspoon                                Cinnamon

1 teaspoon                                 Vanilla

3                                                   Eggs

3/4 cup                                       Almond flour

1/2 cup                                      Unbleached all purpose flour

Directions 

Preheat the oven and your baking sheet at 425°F. (220°C.)

In a 4 cup measuring cup or a medium microwavable bowl, mix the 1/2 cup of pumkin and the 1/4 cup of peanut butter and warm for about 44 seconds or until the peanut butter is melted.  Add 1 tablespoon of milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of pumkin spice, 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup of almond flour and 1/2 of all purpose flour. 

Mix well, take your baking sheet out of the oven and oil it generously to avoid they stick.  


Spoon them on it and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.  Let them cool a minute, then flip them on a plate (if you are like me and don't have a cooling rack).

The fibers from the pumkpin, the proteins and healthy fat from the peanut butter, almond flour and eggs and the little sugar from the maple syrup make me  going until lunch time.

Let me know if you try them.  Eat healthy and be healthy!
