Ingredients

For the Cookies
  • 1 ½ cups Super Fine Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoons oat fiber see notes
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup allulose confectioners
  • ¼ cup brown monk fruit/allulose
  • 1 tablespoon beef gelatin powder unflavored
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
For the Icing
  • ¼ cup cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • ¼ cup allulose confectioners
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, gelatin, salt and xanthan gum to a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, add in the allulose and butter, then mix until the light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and continue mixing. Add in the dry ingredients and mix, just until well combined. Cover the dough and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up a bit.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a cookie scooper, scoop out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. Gently press on the dough to flatten it out a little. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges.
  4. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, allulose and vanilla to a small mixing bowl and mix together to combine. Spread some of the icing on the cooled cookies, then sprinkle with a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice over the tops and serve.

Notes

  • Makes 24 cookies, serving size 2 cookies.
  • Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
  • To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
