Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, and honey. Whisk together until smooth and well integrated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients thoroughly to distribute the spices and leavening agent evenly.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a cohesive cookie dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips, creating a round shape approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use Fresh Pumpkin Puree: For the best flavor, consider using homemade pumpkin puree. It’s easy to make and adds a fresh taste to your cookies!
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cookie, feel free to adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste. You can also experiment with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- Add Mix-Ins: Get creative by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the dough for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the cookies while they bake. They should be lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to a month—just thaw them at room temperature before enjoying!
