Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Oat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts.
Step 6
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon for a more uniform shape (these cookies will not spread much during baking).
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 9
Remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
