Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Divide the 2 1/2 cups of oats into two batches. Place 1 cup of oats in a blender and blend them on high speed to form a fine ground - it's your oat flour.
In a mixing bowl, add oat flour made before, the remaining 1 cup + 1/2 cup of oats, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, and any of the optional flavors listed above.
Stir until it forms a dough, then use a large cookie dough scoop to scoop dough.
Release the dough balls onto the baking sheet, leaving a thumb of space between them. You should make 9 cookies from this dough. Don't make the cookies too big or they will be fragile.
Lightly oil the palm of your hands and press down the top of each cookie a little to flatten them.
Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until dry on top and golden brown.
Let them cool down on a cooling rack and enjoy for breakfast or as a snack.
