Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- dash of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten free oats, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, chocolate chips, cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform dough.
- Shape Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Slightly flatten each cookie to help them bake evenly and hold their shape.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookies turn lightly browned around the edges and are set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the sheet before transferring them to a plate or storage container. This helps them firm up and enhances their chewy texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with raisins or chopped nuts if preferred.
- Make sure to use certified gluten free oats to keep the recipe safe for gluten intolerant individuals.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep longer.
- If you want a crisper cookie, bake a few minutes longer but keep an eye to avoid burning.
