Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or mashed banana
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, and sweetener (maple syrup or banana).
  3. Add in cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
  4. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a thick dough.
  5. Scoop dough onto baking sheet and flatten each cookie slightly with a spoon.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are firm and centers are set.
  7. Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Mashed banana can replace maple syrup for a fruitier flavor.
  • Let the dough rest 5 minutes before baking for best texture.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Do not use pumpkin pie filling as it contains added sugar and spices.
