Pumpkin Spice Oat Cookies Made With Whole Grains

These pumpkin spice oat cookies can optionally be made with whole grain flour to enhance the nutrition and flavor.

These spiced oat cookies are the perfect treat for a brisk fall day or any time you are feeling in a pumpkin spice mood. They are a delicious marriage of a ginger snap and classic oatmeal cookie.

I love finding ways to use whole grains in my baked goods. I have found that whole wheat flour pairs well with the texture of oats, as well as the fall spices present in this recipe.
