Pumpkin Pie Cookies (Vegan, Grain-Free)
Description
The recipe combines almond butter and pumpkin puree with sweet maple syrup and traditional pumpkin pie spices to create a flavorful, moist cookie base. Vanilla extract adds aromatic depth, and a pinch of salt balances the sweetness. The batter is thick but workable without eggs, allowing for direct taste-testing before baking if desired.
Cookies are formed using a scoop or spoon and flattened gently with a wet fork to prevent sticking, then baked until the edges turn golden. Cooling before removal allows them to firm up, and chilling can create a denser, chewier texture.
Optional dark chocolate chips can be folded in last for a rich contrast. The recipe lends itself well to storage in the freezer, where cookies can be kept for longer periods and enjoyed firm and chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter creamy
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- dark chocolate chips optional, 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or a Silpat.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix until a thick batter is formed. If adding the dark chocolate chips, fold them in last.
- Note: Because this batter is egg-free, feel free to taste-test it at this point, and adjust the flavors to your preference.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the line baking sheet, and gently press each mound with a wet fork (to prevent sticking) to flatten.
- Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
- Allow to cool completely before using a spatula to remove from the baking sheet. Serve immediately, or for a firmer cookie, chill before serving.
Notes
- Store these cookies in the freezer for extended shelf life and serve them chilled for a firmer texture.
