Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg white
• 0.25 cups Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, pure vanilla extract, and egg white until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. If using mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 6

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to help them spread more evenly during baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
