I’ve got a solution for your busy weekday mornings. These grain free pumpkin spice breakfast cookies are so easy to make and loaded with good stuff. Plus kids love them!

Life is BUSY. And just when you think your current busy situation is coming to an end…something else comes up. Last year we had so many activities. I was driving the kids here, there and everywhere. I hated it.
Fast forward a year. Now we are home a lot more. But we have a baby that requires a lot of my time and attention. It feels just as busy. Just in a different way.
Busy life = less time for making good food.
But I’m not giving up! No way. I came up with the perfect fall breakfast that you can prepare in advance. You can even make a double or triple batch to stock your freezer for weeks. And if you are teaching your kids to cook they can actually make them for you. How’s that for freeing up some time?!
Allergy Friendly Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Cookies
These pumpkin spice breakfast cookies are loaded with nourishing ingredients. Plus they taste great! They are super allergy friendly too. No grains, dairy, nuts, eggs or soy.
There is one secret ingredient that is really the star of the show.
Gelatin!
I love the grass-fed gelatin from Perfect Supplements. There is no strange smell. It gels beautifully. And since I do a lot of egg free baking it is my go-to ingredient.
These pumpkin spice breakfast cookies are also packed with coconut oil for healthy fat. Combine that with gelatin and garbanzo bean flour for protein. Plus tapioca flour for starch. It’s a complete breakfast that you can hold in your hand.
Grab a couple for the road, pair it with bacon and fresh fruit or pack one in your child’s lunch box. You get the flavors of fall in a nutritious cookie.

Prep Ahead Breakfast Cookies
I soak the seed and bean flours to help with digestion. I also prep the rest of the ingredients the night before. In the morning I just pour, mix and bake. I can have a batch of pumpkin spice breakfast cookies in the oven in about five minutes. Then we can eat some fresh and stick the rest in the freezer for a quick breakfast any day of the week.
Or if you like to do all of your prep work on the weekends that works too!
Add whatever mix-ins you like. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries…they’re all good.
My kids LOVE these cookies. I think my toddler ate THREE one morning (yes, the toddler that used to barely eat anything). They are that good.
More To Love From Perfect Supplements
If you’ve never tried Perfect Supplements gelatin I highly recommend it. The quality is exceptional. But don’t stop there. Perfect Supplements carries such a wide variety of products.
Collagen
Like the collagen that I also use in the pumpkin spice breakfast cookies. I use it in all of our smoothies (like this blueberry spinach smoothie or this squash cherry smoothie). It was a life saver (literally) for my toddler when she was barely eating (check out how I got her to eat again with this “squash milk”).
Greens
We also recently tried both the fermented kale powder and the aquatic greens. They are perfect for smoothies. And the aquatic greens are especially great for those with allergies. I use it for my big kids as often as possible.
I could go on and on about all of the great products. But I’ll let you do some looking for yourself.

I would love to try those aquatic greens and fermented kale! How interesting!
I bet you’d love the, Renee!!
Wow this is a great giveaway, and the recipe looks so yummy!
Thanks, Jeanne! What products look good to you?
I already love their Collagen so I would probably want to try the desiccated liver or Plant Protein Powder
acai berry and green coffee
Oooh, I’ve never tried either of those Christopher. I bet they are great!
These cookies look amazing! I would love to try their fermented kale!
I’ve been adding the kale to our smoothies. I need to experiment with adding it to other foods too!
I would love to try the Perfect Desiccated Liver as well as the Coconut Oil or one of the Collegens.
Both great choices!!
Great recipe- can’t wait to try it out!
And a fun giveaway! I already enjoy the lemongrass lip balm 🙂 but I have not tried any of their other products – if I had to choose only 2 it would be Perfect Aquatic Greens (Sorry to hear your toddler reacted to it – what was the reaction?) and the Fermented Kale.
My toddler has a million allergies. We’re slowly getting rid of them. But she still has some strange ones. Like all roots! Which makes most supplements a no-go. I’m not sure what it is about the greens she reacts to. But it’s her usual red spots and digestive issues.
The Perfect Plant Protein vanilla flavor and Perfect Hydrolized Collagen.
Anything vanilla sounds good to me!
I’ve got green coffee bean pills coming tomorrow, and I’d also love to try the African Mango
African Mango…I hadn’t seen that one!
I would love to try their fermented kale and collagen. The recipe looks delicious, my son loves pumpkin I will be making him some cookies soon.
My son wants them for every meal 🙂
Perfect Aquatic Greens and Perfect Acai Revive–although anything they offer sounds good! Thank you for a great give away.
I would love to try the Perfect Desiccated Liver and the Coconut Oil.
These look awesome! Two of my favorite flavors in one treat. 😊
I have been interested in trying collagen but haven’t made the plunge yet and the aquatic greens sound interesting, too! (And these breakfast cookies sounds delish.)
We use it almost daily, Sarah! You’d love it.
I would love to try PS liver and fermented kale!
Two of my favorites, Danielle!
These look perfect for busy mornings and love that they are allergy friendly – great for lunchboxes too!
Thanks, Hope! They really are good.
This looks SO delicious! I can never say cookies for breakfast.
I know, right? We love cookies for breakfast!
Love breakfast cookies and best of all they are grain-free!
The perfect combo 🙂
LOVE all the nutrition you pack into t hese cookies — brilliant! I need to do more with garbanzo bean flour…
Thanks, Susannah! Eating well can be tasty 🙂
