Who says you can't have cookies for breakfast?! These high-protein breakfast cookies are the perfect way to start your day without protein powder. I love grabbing them before a workout for some carbs and protein or pairing them with Greek yogurt for 30 grams of protein after my morning workout.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Mix together all the cookie batter ingredients in a large bowl: 3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup flax seed, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup rolled oats, and 1/3 cup chocolate chips.
Scoop out 8 balls and place them on a baking sheet. Press them down so they're about 1" thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set on the edges but still soft. We still want these underbaked (like any good cookie) because otherwise they can dry out. If you make smaller cookies, reduce the cooking time accordingly.
