The days have started to become cozier and so do the dishes coming out of our kitchen. Today I am sharing the recipe of one such dish which is perfect for the season - a delicious and healthy pumpkin oatmeal cookie flavored with warm spices.

These vegan pumpkin cookies are soft and have a chewy texture - something like baked oatmeal. They are refined sugar-free, flour-free, and dairy-free. So if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way then these cookies are for you.

And, if like me you also struggle to decide what to make every morning- something that's easy & quick (make ahead is even better), nutritious, and yet taste delicious then this recipe is perfect for you. Just like my 

They can even be packed for school, college or, office snacking.

Ingredients required and substitute suggestions

Ingredients for healthy pumpkin cookies

  1. Rolled oats: You can use any other type of oats too but the texture will be different in each case and the baking time may vary too.
  2. Peanut butter: Feel free to use any nut butter of your choice
  3. Coconut oil: If you don't like the taste of coconut, use refined coconut oil. Apple sauce or ripe banana can be used too.
  4. Sweetener: Use honey/ maple syrup/ agave syrup whichever sweetener you prefer.
  5. Vanilla extract
  6. Pumpkin puree Home-made/ canned both are fine
  7. Salt: To balance all the flavors

How to store

Put these pumpkin oatmeal cookies in airtight containers and store them in the fridge. They will be fine for 4-5 days.
