Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to shape the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
