Ingredients
Cookies:
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs
⅔ cup pure maple syrup
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ½ cups (240 g) oat flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking powder
2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
Cinnamon Maple Glaze (Optional):
¾ cup confectioner’s sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon unsweetened milk (almond, dairy, or nut milk)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 350°F (365°F at high altitude). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: Whisk in oat flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and baking powder until no streaks remain.
Add Oats & Mix-ins: Fold in old-fashioned oats and chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop & Bake: Scoop 1.5–2 tablespoon portions of dough onto baking sheets, spacing 1.5–2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes, until set and bottoms are golden.
Cool: Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack until room temperature.
Optional Glaze: Whisk confectioner’s sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Allow glaze to harden (45 minutes–2 hours) before serving.
Notes
Flavor Tip: Use virgin or raw coconut oil for best taste.
Sugar-Free Option: Skip the glaze to keep cookies naturally sweetened.
Mix-in Swaps: Try dried cranberries, pepitas, or coconut flakes instead of chocolate chips.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
