Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (170g) canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup (115g) honey
- 1/4 cup (56g) coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp (heaping) salt
- 1 cup (94g) rolled old fashioned oats
- 1 cup (94g) quick oats (or additional 1 cup old fashioned oats)
- 1/4 cup (26g) ground flax seed
Mix-ins
- 3/4 cup (82g) chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup (63g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together canned pumpkin, honey, melted coconut oil, egg, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in both rolled old fashioned oats and quick oats, ground flax seed, chopped walnuts, and mini chocolate chips, mixing until all ingredients are evenly coated and distributed.
- Prepare for Baking: Spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray to help portion the cookie dough easily.
- Form Cookies: Scoop the mixture into 1/4 cup mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray your hands lightly with non-stick cooking spray and gently flatten the cookie mounds slightly for even baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Store Properly: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a nuttier texture, substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if desired.
- You can use all old fashioned oats instead of quick oats for a chewier bite.
- If you prefer your cookies less sweet, reduce honey slightly.
- These cookies freeze well; store in a freezer-safe container and thaw before eating.
- Spraying the measuring cup and your hands helps prevent sticking and makes cookie shaping easier.
