Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 25 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée not pie filling
  • 1 egg may use flax egg for vegan alternative
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup quick oats
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium size bowl -with a hand blender- blend: pumpkin, egg, canola oil, sugar, and vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oats, flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Place 1.5 tbsp dollops onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I prefer to use a scoop for this to ensure I have evenly shaped cookies. You can pat down with a fork to flatten or leave as rounds.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Enjoy these while they are warm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or feel free to freeze the cookies.

Notes

  • You may use rolled oats but I find the flakes are just too darn large for my liking.
  • Feel free to add other spices like cardamom or cloves.
  • My preference is to use MINI chocolate chips. I like a bit of chocolate in every bite.
