Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

These gluten-free & dairy-free chocolate chip pumpkin cookies are the perfect healthy dessert to bake this fall!

I love fall so much partly because I am making all the PUMPKIN RECIPES possible! These chocolate chip pumpkin cookies are so damn good! They’re easy to make and use simple clean ingredients. I love that these cookies are naturally sweetened with just banana and honey. They’re also gluten-free (make sure you use a certified gluten-free oat flour) and are dairy-free. You can even say that you’re eating a vegetable because there’s pumpkin in them 🙂

Trust me, you’re going to want a freshly baked plate of these chocolate chip pumpkin cookies out on your counter all of October!

These cookies are:

soft
delicious
gluten-free
dairy-free
refined sugar free

Ingredients needed for these pumpkin cookies:

egg: I love using organic pasture-raised eggs. The egg helps to bind the ingredients together.
pumpkin puree: of course you need pumpkin in a pumpkin recipe! make sure to use pumpkin puree and the only ingredient should be pumpkin – NOT pumpkin pie filling!
banana: naturally sweetens this recipe and makes the cookies moist.
honey: naturally sweetens this recipe.
coconut oil: makes the cookies moist and helps bind them together.
vanilla extract: for delicious flavor
oat flour: The only flour used in this recipe. If strict gluten-free make sure your oat flour is certified gluten-free like the one I linked to here.
cinnamon: for a warming spice and delicious flavor
pumpkin pie spice: gives these cookies that delicious pumpkin pie flavor and smell.
baking powder: to help these cookies rise and spread while baking.
salt: so necessary for added flavor in any baking recipe!
chocolate chips: the star of this recipe, haha. Make sure your chocolate chips are dairy-free if necessary, like the ones that I linked to.

How to make these chocolate chip pumpkin cookies:

Preheat oven to 350℉
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin puree, mashed banana, honey, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract.
In a separate large bowl, combine the oat flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder. Mix together and then pour into the bowl with the wet ingredients.
Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined and it has a cookie dough-like consistency.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a heaping tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving room in between each cookie.
Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes, then remove the cookies with a spatula and enjoy!
