INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup spelt flour (all-purpose flour will work, too)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup sucanat (or other raw, natural sugar)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or carob chips

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Stir together dry ingredients (flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, sea salt, and nutmeg) in a mixing bowl.

  3. Mix together wet ingredients (pumpkin, sugar, coconut oil, flaxseed, and vanilla) in a separate mixing bowl.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients.

  5. Stir in chocolate chips. Mix well.

  6. Drop rounded tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet. Press cookie dough down into a cookie shape with a spoon or your fingers. Cookies won't spread very much, so you can space them about 1 inch apart.

  7. Bake for 15-16 minutes.

  8. Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely before eating or transferring to a storage container for later consumption.
