Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice) Feel free to use peanut butter or sunflower seed butter as alternatives.
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For enhanced flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or cinnamon) Adjust based on preference.
  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned) Do not use quick oats for best texture.
  • Pinch salt
  • Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor and texture Add per your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Add in the pumpkin spice and salt. Mix again to combine.
  3. Gradually fold in the rolled oats until fully incorporated. You should have a thick, gooey mixture.
  4. If desired, add chocolate chips or nuts for extra crunch and sweetness. Stir them in!
  5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet.
  6. Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of a spoon if you prefer a more cookie-like shape.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Enjoy chilled, or store in an airtight container in the fridge!

Notes

For the best results, ensure to refrigerate the cookies. They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for about three months.
