Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cups Grated apple
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Walnuts (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, grated apple, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. If using, fold in the walnuts and dark chocolate chips.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies begin to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies as a healthy snack or breakfast treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
