After the pumpkin ice cream the other day, I needed to use up the remainder of the pumpkin puree in my fridge and what better way than to bake some Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate cookies?!
Pumpkin has so many benefits...it's a great source of calcium, potassium and the antioxidant beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A. Any way to sneak into my kid's diets is a win-win.
Mix the whole wheat and all-purpose flours together with the baking soda, baking powder, sea salt and Chinese 5-spice and set aside.
Whisk together the egg, oil, vanilla extract and pumpkin puree. Then combine the two bowls, add the oats and chocolate chips.
Bake for a good 15 minutes and your done. Oh and the bonus.....your house will smell AMAZING.

These cookies are a healthy version, there's no butter, and a small amount of sugar and oil. My kids eat almost anything that include chocolate chips so if they want a cookie in their lunch for school, it's gonna be a 'healthy' one. No need for the extra sugar rush during school.

Nancy - I'm going to try to make these gluten-free. I'll let you know how it goes! They sound delicious and we have a ripe sugar pie pumpkin in the garden that needs to be eaten!
ReplyDeleteDo you think if I used almond flour and not put in the oats that it would still work? I am interested in trying! Yesterday I made a pumpkin ginger soup. So I need to get rid of my pumpkin puree as well! Check out my blog if you have a second!
