How to Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

This video will show how to make pumpkin oatmeal breakfast cookies. These breakfast oat cookies are a great way to use up ripe bananas, especially when you only have one or two which is not enough for banana bread. These are also great to put on a list of recipes for diabetics because there are no added sugars (as long as you don't add the optional maple syrup), just the natural sugars from the banana. It's also a cookie recipe without any processed foods and is a wonderful vegan cookie. While these are called breakfast cookies, they're not as much like oatmeal cookies and are really more like packaged snack bars in consistency. These are a variation of my original video for oatmeal breakfast cookies to put it in line with fall flavor recipes. Are you tired of all the fall pumpkin recipes yet?
