These delicious pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are healthy, vegan, gluten-free. Perfect for satisfying your pumpkin cravings!
Good morning and happy Friday from Boston! We’re headed out to explore the city in a bit, but I thought I would pop in and share this pumpkin cookie recipe with you.
In my last post I mentioned that, despite the chillier weather we’ve been experiencing, I hadn’t broke out the pumpkin recipes yet. Well… that changed last night. I think the fall favor of the butternut squash protein pancakes are to blame – they made me crave pumpkin goodies.
I wanted a treat to bring with us on the trip so I started thinking about what I should make. I almost settled on my chocolate chunk pumpkin bars but at the last second changed my mind and decided cookies would be easier to pack. I’m glad I did because not only do I have a new recipe to share, but it’s a pretty awesome one at that.
Not to toot my own horn, but these cookies are vegan, have less than 90 calories and 2 grams of sugar each. Plus they’re GOOD — like really good!
They’re a little on the cakey side (pumpkin tends to do that to baked goods), but they have a nice chewy cookie texture from the oats. The coconut sugar lends a lovely molasses flavor to each bite and of course, the chocolate chips are sweet and delightful. Overall, they’re quite the cookie. I would highly recommend making them. If you’re not ready for pumpkin things just yet, you can always pin or bookmark them for later. �
I hope you like these little orange gems as much as we do.
