Prep Time: 10 minutes  | Cook Time: 15 minutes  | Total Time: 25 minutes |*Servings: 12 

Who doesn’t enjoy an easy grab-and-go breakfast food? These delicious, nutrient-rich vegan cookies are high in soluble fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and protein and will keep you satisfied for hours. Soluble fibre plays a role in lowering inflammation, stabilizing blood sugar, reducing cholesterol levels and supporting overall gut health. Chia and flax seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which may aid in lowering inflammation and improving cardiovascular health. Pumpkin puree is a rich source of beta-carotene and vitamin A, which is important for eye health and helping our body fight off infections.
