Healthy 6 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies






These Healthy 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies are soft, chewy and take less than 15 minutes to whip up! They are an easy snack or breakfast option- Naturally gluten free and vegan, there is an option to keep it completely sugar-free too!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten free quick oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice* (I used Xylitol)
  • 2 tsps Cinnamon
  • 1/4-1/2 cup nut butter of choice (I used almond)
  • Chocolate chips or nuts (optional but recommended)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking tray and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin and granulated sweetener of choice and mix well. Add the optional nut butter of choice.

Using your hands, form into small balls and place on the baking tray and press each ball into a cookie shape. Top with optional nuts and/or chocolate chips and bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on desired consistency.
Remove and allow to cool completely.

Notes
* If you prefer a less sweet cookie, keep it to 1/4 cup. Adjust accordingly.

These cookies don't need refrigeration and can be kept in a covered container for up to a week for optimum freshness. They freeze very well.
