ingredients

  • 1 cup quick cook oats
  • 1 cup fine blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup maple sugar
  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a half sheet baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    In a completely dry high speed blender, add the oats and blend on the highest speed for 30 seconds until a fine flour forms. You should have just less than 1 cup of oat flour.

  • Step 3

    In a large mixing bowl add the oat flour, almond flour, maple sugar, arrowroot powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Whisk well to combine until no clumps remain.

  • Step 4

    Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or butter) and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully combined. Use a hand mixer if desired to get it extra smooth and well distributed.

  • Step 5

    Use a 1.5 tablespoon retractable cookie scoop to portion out the dough into 14-15 cookies. Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes before using a metal spatula to gently move the cookies to a wire cooling rack to fully cool to room temperature.
