Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Pumpkin Harvest Breakfast Cookies

Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.

It’s Fall, Y’all!  I love the fall season – –  the cooler temps, the yellow leaves, and the way pumpkin spice pops up around every corner.  While it’s one of our shortest seasons in Colorado, it’s definitely a favorite.

Being on the Jenny Craig program, I am always looking for creative ways to enjoy the flavors without adding a ton of extra ingredients into my cooking.  And, this recipe DOES NOT disappoint…

I have made these cookies three times now, and I’m obsessed how fun and flavorful they are.  You’ll only need to have two ingredients handy, in addition to your Jenny Craig Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal.  Canned pure pumpkin (not canned pumpkin pie mix) and pumpkin pie spice.  That’s all!

A quick note on Jenny Craig Exchanges:  7 tsp. of pumpkin puree were added to this dish, which equates to approximately 10 additional calories.  Per the Jenny Craig team that I work with, this amount of pumpkin is calculated as a “free” food on both the Rapid Results and Classic programs.   As always, please check with your consultant before making any modifications to your program to assure that you’re meeting your personal goals.
