Enjoy the wholesome goodness of these Healthy Pumpkin Oat Cookies, perfect for a guilt-free snack that satisfies your cravings. Loaded with nutritious ingredients and a hint of sweetness, these cookies are a delightful treat for any time of day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2.5 cups (250 g) rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1 cup (240 g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup, agave syrup, or coconut sugar

Optional Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

    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.

    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.

    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 not overly sweet.
  • Adding chocolate chips, cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt is recommended for enhanced flavor.
  • Consider increasing the sweetener if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  • Additional add-ins like shredded coconut, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds can be included for more flavor.
  • For best results, use high-quality pumpkin puree like Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin.
