I love eating seasonally. Fall calls for pumpkins and apples, both ripe and pickable this time of year. These pumpkin cookies are relatively healthy, packed with beta-carotene, fiber, and vitamins A, C and E. In my opinion they are perfectly acceptable for breakfast too. In truth they have more of a muffin consistency than a cookie one. My girls adore them – Sophie prefers them without dark chocolate chips and Emma likes them with chocolate chips so I make a half batch of each. They are nut free and dairy free so relatively safe for school snacks on Halloween too!
