Have I told you lately how much I love baking during the Fall? Not since yesterday, right? Let me tell you again…I LOVE to bake…especially during the Fall! Now, don’t get me wrong, baking during Christmas has a place in my heart too, but with all the hustle and bustle of shopping, wrapping and decorating, baking seems to take a back seat during the Christmas season, at least in our house.
October 29th is National Oatmeal Day…did you know? I didn’t.
While I love a bowl of piping hot oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon in the morning, I really love Oatmeal Cookies! And when you add Pumpkin, Raisins and Walnuts…oh my! I could eat the whole batch!
Pretty much all the delicious flavors of Fall wrapped up in a sweet, little, soft cookie! I had to share a big bag of these cookies with the neighbor today so I wouldn’t eat them all.
Don’t they look delicious? Hang tight for the recipe…first I have a favor…pop on over to the Quaker® website and vote for my Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies! I would REALLY appreciate it, but even better…I’d LOVE it if you won! Yep…you could win $1000 just for voting!
So, what are you waiting for...vote…now…please! If I win, my recipe will be in the Quaker® Newsletter.

Oh, boy!! I JUST made a large sheet cake using your fabulous chocolate mix-in-the pan recipe. I love, love, love oatmeal cookies so much, and I cannot wait to try this one. I know it will be a winner, just like everything else that you do! Also, thank you for helping all of your readers with the close look at grocery budgeting and eating nutritiously. We are trying our best here in Miami to be healthy, and we can use all the wonderful hints and tips! One of the little things I do to help is to make a double batch of a healthy dish, and freeze half for another meal later on. It seems to save time, and most of all, sanity! I try very hard to make everything that I eat, including my bread, from scratch. I feel like that gives me much more control over my budget.
I am definitely going to give this a try -I wanted to let you know that I featured this recipe today in my “What I Bookmarked This Week” post -stop by and see!

I just made these cookies. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and added white chocolate chips. After they cooled I drizzled with melted white chocolate . This is my new favorite cookie! Thanks for sharing. Amy
That sounds yummy Amy!
Made with coconut flour, earth butter and chocolate chips. Unreal! I can’t stop eating them
thank you!
