Description
This Pumpkin Breakfast Cookie is soft, cozy, and packed with warm pumpkin spice flavor. Made with oats, protein powder, and pumpkin puree, it is a quick single-serve breakfast or snack made easily in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup oats (quick, minute, or rolled)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, softened
- 1 tablespoon mini white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon low-fat cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon icing sugar (powdered sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 F.
- In a small bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and softened coconut oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and mix again.
- Roll the dough into a ball, then gently flatten and shape into a round cookie about 3/4 inch thick.
- Place the cookie in the air fryer basket on an air fryer liner or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Air fry for about 10 minutes until lightly golden and set.
- While the cookie bakes, mix the cream cheese and icing sugar in a small bowl to make the frosting.
- Spread the frosting over the warm cookie and serve.
Notes
- Rolled oats, quick oats, or minute oats all work well in this recipe.
- You can substitute dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate chips if desired.
- For oven baking, bake at 350 F until the cookie is set and lightly golden.
- Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
