Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Chip Cookies combine pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice with creamy almond butter and dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan-version of the classic dessert snack. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 1¼ cups oat flour (150 g)
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup roasted creamy almond butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the oat flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt to a medium bowl and whisk really well.
- In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin (level off with finger when measuring), syrup, almond butter and extract and whisk really well until completely smooth.
- Pour over the dry ingredients and stir until mixed before adding the chocolate chips (note: be sure to stir for at least a couple of minutes until it thickens up well; the batter will seem too wet at first but the nature of oat flour is that it thickens as you stir).
- Use a cookie scooper to scoop the dough onto the pan (note that if the dough is not thick enough, chill in the refrigerator as needed).
- Bake for 9 minutes; cookies will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
- Enjoy!
