Hi Friends!
The other night I was in the mood for some cookies. And since it IS fall and all, I decided they should be pumpkin cookies. I made some pumpkin cookies last year but this time I wanted them to have oatmeal. I looked at a few recipes for inspiration, but most of them were full of butter and tons of sugar….so I just kinda did my own thing, as per usual 🙂
I mixed, scooped, baked and tasted. The verdict? I loved them! I know they won’t be for everyone, but they’re moist, chewy and taste like fall. They’re not overly sweet…and they’re packed with goodies like pecans and chocolate chips.
Confession…i HATE photographing cookies. So I didn’t spend a lot of time doing it. Sorry, friends 🙂
So you’ll just have to settle for the recipe instead!

I was thinking the same thing!!! Or even some pumpkin seeds? Wonder if you could sub in some maple syrup too? Feels like fall to me 🙂
Lindsay says
i say go for it! love pumpkin seeds! and you could probably trade maple syrup for some of the brown sugar!
Lauren @ Lawfully Wedded Wife says
These look so good Lindsay! I’ve been on quite the baking kick lately (especially with pumpkin) and so I think I’ll be trying these! 🙂
Lindsay says
awesome! enjoy!
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
Hmmm…do you hate photographing them because it’s to hard not to eat them?
Lindsay says
exactly!! 🙂
Linz @ Itz Linz says
I love every word in this post, so I knew it’d be a winner! 🙂

These look really good. The photos you did do it enough justice. I personally like taking 1-2 photos of food and not needing to take 1000 but then again…I’m not the best baker LOL.
Lindsay says
haha i def prefer fewer pics, more eating!
Danielle @ Clean Food Creative Fitness says
Love this recipe! I’ve been on a total pumpkin kick lately and will pretty love anything pumpkin! I am the worst photographer ever and think cookies always look the same in pictures! Just can’t figure it out!
Lindsay says
i know!!! it’s so annoying!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Photographing brown food in general sucks… but it’s especially hard when it’s cookie because you KNOW how fantastic they taste. Anyway, I think these look lovely. I’ve been wanted to make a pumpkin version of my granola cookies – I’m going to take some inspiration for you and do it!
Lindsay says
woohoo! go for it!
Madeline @ Food Fitness and Family says
YUM! You know I am a sucker for all things pumpkin 😉

Lindsay says

Mariell @ HealthyPantz says
I held off on the pumpkin baking frenzy until last night with some whole wheat pumpkin craisin bread. These cookies are definitely next in line- thanks for the recipe!
Brittany (Healthy Slice of Life) says
mmm oatmeal, pumpkin- it’s fall in a cookie! 🙂
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
I can’t get enough pumpkin right now! I hate photographing cookies too… I would much rather eat them. 😉
Allie says
It IS hard to photograph cookies! Especially oatmeal ones. Because they will look like an oatmeal cookie, and that will hide their deceptive deliciousness. I’m not a big pumpkin fan, but if you put it in a cookie recipe with oatmeal? Yup, I’ll scarf it down.
Lindsay says
ahhhh, so oatmeal is the winning ingredient for you 🙂 i agree…can’t get enough, especially in cookie form!
Victoria says
Those looks amazing yet so simple to make…. I can’t wait to try them this weekend, perhaps!!
jobo says
Yum! Pumpkin and oatmeal, such a fab combo! I must try these 🙂
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
Love this!!
Kammie @ Sensual Appeal says
Nom cookies. Surprinsingly I haven’t made any in a while… yours kind of remind me of ones I made in the beginning of my blog, oatmeal cookies with nut butter. Nomm… these look awesome too!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Yum!! I have yet to make anything with pumpkin yet this season, and that seriously needs to change. These look soo good!

Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says
oooh, these must be absolutely incredible!!! i must say, i am very glad those are chocolate chips & not raisins…. raisins are yummy, just not in cookie form. i love the pumpkin/oat combo!
Lindsay says
chocolate chips are always better in cookies, in my opinion 🙂
