Today, I'm participating in the Breads category and have prepared these amazing scrumptious savory pumpkin laced mini pancakes.Yes. Yes. I know. It's the third pumpkin centric recipe in a row, but I do so love it. Here these itty bitty babies (only small to be guilt freer) is paired with mighty mild flavored cheddar and broccoli and tastes good with tempeh breakfast strips.

Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Carob Chip Cookies

No ordinary chocolate chip cookie here!

Well, hello there November. Fancy seeing you.
For Monday (yes, Meatless Monday occurred just four days ago!), in our sweet seminar class, our assignment was not to read a passage from either theoretical texts (Ernst Fischer's Necessity of Art and Henry Focillon's The Life and Forms in Art) but to gain insight from Pulitzer Prize winning Annie Dilliard's Total Eclipse essay. It was such a breath of fresh air to read poetic nonfictional prose. My chummy classmates and I were also to write an artist's reflection (not a stuffy, puffed chest statement/declaration). Our teachers announced that each of us should bring a little something something morning treat. Thus was dubbed Drawing Seminar Potluck on a cool, gentle Veteran's Day.
I decided to take on a post that Mattie had posted on her Facebook page- Eating Bird Food's recipe for Pumpkin Oatmeal Carob Chip Cookies. I had to make them! They taste like a cross between a traditional chocolate chip and warm pumpkin pie. Soft, sweet, moist treasures bridging flavors of the season and joy of childhood's favorite cookie. These were amazing with cold glass of almond milk.
But it's really, really difficult to stop at one or two.

1/2 cup old fashioned oats

Stir in the tasty carob chips!

Spoon a tablespoon each. Little space apart. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Cool your cookies.

Plate them and smile knowing that Cookie Monster would be so proud.
