Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a small pan over medium-high heat, combine pumpkin puree, coconut oil, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Simmer and then remove from heat, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. Let it cool.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix rolled oats, salt, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Once the pumpkin mixture has cooled, add it to the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until the oats are fully coated.
- Shape Cookies: Spoon the mixture into cookie shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly and allow to cool.
- Optional: Sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor. You can refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help them set, but it’s not necessary.
Notes
- I recommend chilling the cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.
