These healthy pumpkin oat cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack option. Perfectly spiced and not overly sweet, they are a great treat for any time of day, packed with wholesome ingredients like oats and pumpkin.

Ingredients

Rolled Oats:

    2.5 cups (250 g)

Pure Pumpkin Puree:

    1 cup (240 g)

Maple Syrup:

    3 tbsp

Pumpkin Pie Spice:

    2 tsp (optional but recommended)

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips:

    1/2 cup (optional but recommended)

Salt:

    Pinch (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

    2. Mix all ingredients, including the optional ingredients if using, in a bowl to form a thick dough. If you’re adding any additional ingredients like nuts, seeds, or coconut, add those as well. Start with 3 tbsp of sweetener and adjust sweetness as desired. The cookies are not very sweet with 3 tbsp and this can be increased if desired.

  2. Use your hands to create 12 cookie shapes.

    3. The cookies will not spread or change shape during baking, so be sure to create the shape you want before baking.

  3. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper or place cookies directly on the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and enjoy warm after a few minutes.

    5. Let cool completely before storing. Store in a sealed container at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

  • These cookies have a soft, baked oatmeal-like texture and are more of a healthy snack option than a sweet dessert.
  • Adding chocolate chips, cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt is recommended for enhanced flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste with sweetener, and consider adding extra ingredients like shredded coconut, nuts, or seeds for variety.
  • Using high-quality pumpkin puree is key to the texture and taste of the cookies.
