PUMPKIN BREAD COOKIES {VEGAN + GUTEN FREE}

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free oat flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree

  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar

  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons warm water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes)

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Add-In

  • vegan chocolate chips (We love Hu Brand)

Optional Toppings:

  • sprinkle of sea salt

  • sprinkle of coconut sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: pumpkin, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, flax egg and vanilla.

  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well mixed.

  5. Fold in chocolate chips.

  6. Using a medium tablespoon, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Cookies will spread just a bit. (Flatten the dough with a plastic spatula for a flatter cookie. If you don't flatten the dough - the cookie will be more dome shaped.)

  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer cookies directly onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
