Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cups Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and just starting to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthier pumpkin chip cookies with a warm beverage or as an on-the-go snack!
