Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free if preferred
• 1/3 cup unrefined coconut sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp coconut oil melted

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and all the seasonings. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, vanilla and coconut oil.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until combined, without over mixing. The batter will be quite thick, so use a silicone spatula to easily get the ingredients combined.
• Using a rounded tablespoon, drop dough onto your prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork or back of the spoon.
• Bake for 12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Then remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze to keep longer.
