Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted vegan butter (we like Miyoko’s // dairy butter would also work if not vegan)
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar* (ensure vegan-friendly as needed)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup almond flour* (we like Wellbee’s)
- 2/3 cup MB 1:1 GF Blend (or sub all-purpose flour if not gluten-free)
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free as needed)
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
FROSTING optional
- Vegan Pumpkin Spice Frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- To a medium mixing bowl, add the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Next, stir in the almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt until there are no flour streaks remaining. Next, use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the oats and chopped pecans.
- Use a cookie scoop (we like this one) or tablespoon to measure out ~1 ½ Tbsp amounts of dough and place them on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. If you’ll be frosting them, lightly press down on the cookies to flatten them. Otherwise, you can leave them in little mounds! Bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully. Once cool, you can top them with Pumpkin Spice Frosting for an extra indulgent fall cookie. Enjoy!
- Let cool fully before storing any leftovers lightly covered at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. See notes for freezing recommendations.

Notes
- *Coconut sugar might work in place of brown sugar, but the texture will be different.*If nut-free, you could try sunflower seed meal in place of almond flour, but the cookies may turn green after baking (the color won't impact the taste). Another option would be a lesser amount of oat flour, but the cookies may turn out more dense and wholesome. Let us know if you try either option!*You can scoop the dough and freeze it for future use; to bake, just place frozen scoops of dough onto a prepared baking sheet and bake for an extra 1-2 minutes.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without frosting.
