Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup almond flour (or any flour of choice)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easy cleanup.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, ensuring all ingredients are fully integrated.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to break up any clumps, ensuring an even distribution of the dry ingredients.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring continuously until everything is fully incorporated. If you’re using raisins or chocolate chips, as well as the chopped nuts, gently fold them into the dough to enhance texture and flavor.

          Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart, as they won’t spread significantly during baking. Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon to ensure an even bake.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to avoid over-baking.

              Cool: Once they're baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This will help them set properly. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Enjoy: These delicious cookies are best enjoyed while still warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to a week for a delightful snack anytime.
