Pumpkin Nut Breakfast Cookies

One-Bowl Pumpkin Nut Breakfast Cookies

Posted on September 28, 2021February 27, 2022 by Jen

Life is Gourd…

A Bit of History

The phrase “Life is Good” might just sound like “Life is Gourd” with a mouthful of these delicious Pumpkin Nut Breakfast Cookies. I look forward to the influx of pumpkin and fall foods in the grocery stores and autumn vegetables and fruits in my CSA box. I have even been known on occasion to call Trader Joe’s inquiring when they expect their fall items to arrive.

Pumpkins happen to be one of the older domesticated plants dating back to 7500 -5000 years BCE. While they are native to North America, pumpkins are enjoyed and cultivated worldwide. In fact, my home state of Illinois, grows the most US pumpkins. Morton, IL claims the title of the “Pumpkin Capital of the World” and is home to Libby’s pumpkin factory. Pumpkins take their name from the Greek word, pepon, which means a large melon. Over time, the word evolved into pompions and finally pumpkin.

Today after Labor Day, the stores and coffee shops explode with pumpkin pie spice containing items. Upon entering, the warm, autumn aroma of spice permeates the store. Pumpkin pie spice, typically a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, mace, and ginger, but sometimes contains cardamon or white pepper. The origins of pumpkin pie spice mixture date back to the Dutch East India Company, when spices from Southeast Asia began to be imported to Europe. Like most cooks, I love adding these spices to baked goods!

About the Recipe: Pumpkin Nut Breakfast Cookies

This recipe is packed with whole grain rolled outs, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin puree, dried currants, spices, and sweetened with just enough brown sugar. Breakfast cookies provide a convenient solution for those rushed mornings or a perfect after school snack. Adding chocolate chips definitely elevates these to dessert level. We love to serve these cookies warm with a drizzle of maple cream or honey. The best part, aside from eating them, is that the recipe comes together in one bowl and cooks in 18 minutes!

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
