    Oh my word, yum! Just another thing to add to my list of things to make from your blog ;P. I think we have leftover pumpkin, actually. Oh yes, I’m making these this week.

    As for my favorite afternoon snack, I have a secret obsession with potato chips. So they have always been one of my favorite snacks. But right now I’m obsessed with this dairy-free pudding I made and froze. They turned into vanilla fudgesicles! Yum!

    My favorite current afternoon snacks is CCK’s Cookie Dough Dip (I call it ‘dessert hummus’), or fresh fruit salad with chopped mint and walnuts.

    But a plain ole Larabar also does the trick a lot of afternoons. 🙂

      I always use old fashioned or even extra-thick cut, never quick in all recipes that use oats, cooked or not. I prefer the texture better.

      I made them today with steel cut oats and i wasn’t too happy with the results. The ended up pretty chewy and grainy. I will try with quick oats next time.

    Oooh pumpkin reminds me of fall… and I’m so excited for fall to come so I can try out all these pumpkin recipes. Somehow it just feels wrong to eat it in the summer. My favourite snack is peaches with almond butter…. yum! Peaches are in season in Ontario now so it’s double delicious!

    Ohh, I’ll have to try with sweet potato as soon as I get my hands on it. I’ll definitely throw in some chocolate chips though. My favorite snack at the moment is actually just an apple and sometimes even a coffee with cinnamon and cardamon. I often eat some sort of culinary experiment though, because the afternoon is the time when I’ve got the time to try them out.

      I tried baking them and was disappointed… they were hardly sweet (while I found they were plenty sweet as dough) and I suspect they need an egg to hold them together better. I kept going back to the dough with a spoon and wanting to ignore the baked ones.

    Those look fantastic! I’m all about pumpkin once I feel that fall is in the air. I frequently find myself snacking between meals- it’s hard not to! I love having multigrain crackers with some homemade peanut butter, drizzle of honey, and sliced bananas! Hummus with carrots never fails either 😉

  18. HilJo says

    Oh man I just made roughly these (Im not much of a measurer) and they are so good. Pumpkin and oats are two of my favorite things. I also added cashew butter instead of oil and maple syrup instead of grain sugar, which Im sure changed the texture but since I didnt measure anyways the texture was already probably off 🙂 All that rambling to say: YUM.

  25. Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says

    This recipe looks delicious!
    I personally don’t understand how anyone can NOT snack in between meals. I always have a snack mid-afternoon and then again after dinner. Or whenever my body tells me it’s hungry!
    My snacks are usually on the sweeter side- plain Greek yogurt with peanut flour, smoothies, protein muffins (single lady style), fruit and nut butter, etc.
    And pumpkin anything is good in my book!

    Those look amazing! I actually have some coconut sugar in my pantry that I’ve no idea what to do with! So I’m making these!

    Snacks? Ususally fruit and at the moment a modification of your fudge babies. Also Coffee….lots of coffee.
    Also these look super tastey! Unfortuantly I have to cook and puree my own pumpkin because most aussies don’t really use it in deserts and I can’t find it canned! I didnt even know you could make pumpkin sweet things until I found your blog.

    Omg, these sound delicious! I wanna make them right now.. Do you think you could substitute stevia for the sugar? You should make a sugar free version! And my favorite snack is a whole wheat tortilla with peanut butter and raisens or a banana with peanut butter(:

    Ok these look fantastic and the perfect thing to eat between a meal (yes I do enjoy a snack or two throughout the day).

    I happen to have canned pumpkin on hand and can wait to give these a go!

    Oooh, Katie, these look so yummy! I may just have to buy a can of pumpkin when I’m out and about today . . .

    My favorite afternoon snack is pretty much any fruit or vegetable. At the moment, I’m basically obsessed with an amazing cabbage-fennel coleslaw. It’s super light, and really tangy. I’m planning on posting the recipe on my blog later on today (hopefully!). I also could snack on baked acorn squash right out of its peel, topped with a bit of coconut butter, cinnamon, and a little stevia for sweetness. Yum!

    I don’t know how people live without snacking!! lol, that may be a bit extreme, but seriously everyone needs a little afternoon pick-me-up! Right now, I love balance bars or greek yogurt with pb2.
    I just made these without the oil and with pure-via instead of sugar. After rolling them into balls, I pressed a large chocolate chip into the center of each, making them into no-bake thumbprints!

    Thanks for this recipe! It looks very yummy! I have a toddler who is allergic to dairy, peanuts, and eggs, so I’m always on the lookout for easy dessert ideas that are free of these allergens to bring to family parties and stuff. I think this will become a traditional fall recipe in our house, a special treat which my son can enjoy with the rest of the family! Thanks very much!

    p.s. favorite snack? There’s too many to choose from! Right now I’m loving canned peaches (packed in juice) with vanilla yogurt, triscuits with cottage cheese, and apples with peanut butter!

    I love pumpkin and so do my boys, so there’s always pumpkin around. It’s always great to have another way to use it. I tried these yesterday and they were a little sticky (even w/ only 2T milk and letting them chill before making the cookies). I think next time I’ll use a little of the oat flour to roll them in after making the balls; I do that when I make pistachio date balls and it works great. Thanks for all your great recipes, Katie! I’ve really been loving all the oat recipes lately and have always been a fan of your larabars!

    Just made these and they are dynamite! I have them cooling in the fridge before forming…hopefully they last long enough to make into cookies! This is the tenth or so recipe I’ve made from your website, thank you for the great recipes. I’m not a vegan, but really appreciate the healthiness of your recipes. And of course the use of chocolate and deliciousness, yuuuummmmm!
    P.S. I did add chocolate chips to these 🙂

  75. Erica says

    I subbed protein powder (cinnamon and peanut butter flavors) for the flour. I needed to use a little more than the recipe asked for, but just did it a little at a time before the texture thickened… after a minute in the fridge they’re hard enough to pick up. yum!

    Just made these! I was wanting to make my kids some healthy no bake cookies, but in the mood for Fall, and wanted a pumpkin version. I thought, surely someone out there has thought up a recipe for those, and i could tailor it to make them healthier I googled it and yours was the first one on the list! I said, oh, Katie has one? I love her recipes!

    I doubled the cinnamon, a dash of pumpkin pie spice, used Stevia and coconut oil, and I topped them with mini chocolate chips. They taste amazing! We are going to have them after our hike tonight! Thanks a bunch!

    I just made these with my five year old and he loved them! We opened a can of pumpkin to make your pumpkin bread in a bowl for breakfast (also a hit with him!) and wanted to use it up. He is a Type I diabetic so your site is one of our go-to places for healthy snacks and desserts! He’s home from school sick today so he is thrilled to get some one-on-one time with me in the kitchen.

    I FINALLY made these yesterday. It’s been on my to do list for a month now! They were great! I added more oatmeal to them, just to add more texture and of course the chocolate made it perfect! I even tried baking them as once person commented on, but did not care for them baked. However, I did find I like them best frozen, well just slightly thawed out from the freezer. Delish! Thx!

    I saw this recipe and immediately went into my kitchen and started whipping them up. They came out AMAZING! My boyfriend came in and asked if they were peanut butter and I said no, but what a great idea. So I tried it with peanut butter as well, minus the cinnamon and pumpkin spices … Well these came out even BETTER!! Next time I want to try dipping them in some dark chocolate — they taste a lot like buckeye balls, but healthy

    I substituted the sugar with Truvia packets. The conversion is 6 packets = 1/4 cup. This was PLENTY sweet (I will add less next time). I also substituted natural peanut butter for the oil. I didn’t have baking soda so I just doubled the baking powder and used 1/2 the salt. I made 17 balls and with my calculations I found it to be 31 calories per ball. TURNED OUT GREAT! Thank you! 🙂

    I made these tonight! I had to use olive oil because I was out of veg oil but they turned out fine. I also used fresh pumpkin (which has more water) so they were a little wet. I rolled them in ground almonds which added a great tasting dry coating. 🙂

    Reply

  113. Rachel says

    YUM! I just made a double batch of these and they’re fantastic, which makes me happy because I’m really REALLY trying to find healthier alternatives for my serious sweet tooth.

    I love that this recipe seems pretty forgiving–I only had cream in the house so I used half cream & half coconut water as the liquid & it worked fine. I also was so excited about my decision to weigh everything on the kitchen scale vs using measuring cups that I accidentally dumped everything in the same bowl and thus had to skip the step of mixing the dry & wet ingredients separately before adding them together, and while I’ll do it as-written next time it didn’t ruin the recipe or anything. I *also* used oat bran, which looked close enough to the texture of flour that I decided it’d work. It did, at least well enough for my liking. Next time I might try actually grinding it down finer though. I added the mini chocolate chips and as expected they made everything even MORE awesome.

    I think later I’m going to process some frozen bananas and add little bits of this to make a faux cookie dough “ice cream.” Yum yum yum!

    I made these today, but I used coconut flour instead of oat flour (and coconut oil for the oil). They turned out yummy! The coconut flavor from the flour is quite strong though, so they ended up tasting predominately of coconut with the pumpkin as a secondary flavor.

      Edit: The texture did end up a little odd though. I don’t know if that would be different with oat flour or not, but they are really light and kind of powdery…not sure how to describe it. But my husband and agreed that we would both like them to be a bit denser.

    Had some leftover pumpkin, so whipped these up. SUPER quick to make, which I love about your recipes. Makes it so much easier to eat healthy when you can put something together quickly! I used 1 c. oats rather than the oats and oat flour. Flavor was good, but a little mushy, so I should stick to your recipe next time. But it won’t stop me from eating them!

    I made these with whole wheat flour (instead of oat flour), brown sugar, and sweet potato puree. I also left out the baking soda. They turned out great! I left some unbaked (read: I couldn’t stop myself from snacking on the raw dough) and baked the rest @ 350 degrees for 10 mins. Both ways, the result was awesome!

    I rolled the cookies I baked in cinnamon-sugar (as one would do for snickerdoodles). So delicious. Recommended.

    I took some liberties with the recipe but it came out great! I prefer my oat cookies cooked a little so I added more fluid (including carrot juice and maple syrup), cooked on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, pressed into a pan, and topped with coconut :).

  144. Robin says

    These were so delicious, I ate almost the whole batch myself! My husband (who isn’t a fan of pumpkin) even liked them! To slow myself from eating it all out of the bowl, I tried baking a few in a toaster oven (since I was too lazy/impatient to heat up the real thing) at 350 for about 10-15min.

    Thank you so much for your blog! I’m on a ridiculous elimination diet while breastfeeding my son (no dairy, soy, egg, nuts, wheat, citrus, corn!) and your recipes make me feel like I can actually have a special treat!

    Just made these! OH MY!! I cooked my own pumpkin but was a bit short; so I added a small amount of banana. We don’t like the taste of baking soda (even when baked) so left that out. Added nuts and dried cranberries. These are so delicious!! Tried both raw and baked and I have been going back and forth tasting each – to see which ones I like better… (I better stop!!) Both are great. Thanks!!

    I’m trying to “de-sweetify” myself – I have a fierce sweet tooth. So I’ve been looking for recipes that would help me satisfy with a little sweetness. I tried these and they taste good! I used truvia blend rather than sugar…

    I made these for my class today and everyone really seemed to enjoy them. I know I did. For some reason I can never seem to make your recipes yield as many cookies (or whatever I am making) as you do.

    These were great! I made them as directed with instant oats, granulated cane sugar, and safflower oil, then stuck them in the freezer. Meanwhile, I melted a tsp of coconut oil wih 2 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips. I dipped each cookie halfway into the chocolate, set them on parchment, and put them back in the freezer for 10 min. They are great without the chocolate, though, too.

    ***I just made these and they are sooooo good! For some reason mine were a little too wet when I followed the recipe, so I decided to add in 1/4 c of shredded unsweetened coconut & 1/4 c of pecan pieces! Yum yum!! Thanks for another awesome recipe 🙂

    These were OK. They do not hold together great at room temperature, and I was hoping to send them in my kids lunch box, but they will be an after school snack instead. The taste is good.

    I just made these, I was nervous because at first I found that they were very mushy. However, after throwing them in the oven for about fifteen minutes and they came out awesome!

    These sound and look delicious!!
    A few questions…
    How long these might last in the fridge?
    How many cookies does the recipe make?
    Suggestions on an easy way to use up the rest of the pumpkin puree?
    They would freeze well, correct?

    Everything about this recipe is a yes. I make these every fall, without fail. Last year I even used my last little bit of pumpkin for this because I couldn’t NOT make them!

    BEST cookie EVER!!!!! Seriously. This is the first of your recipes I have tried – though I have pinned a lot! I am going to be back for more!

    Just made these using wheat flour (multi-purpose) and they still taste great. I also used brown sugar and pure maple syrup instead of the recommended sugar ingredients above, added a pinch of nutmeg because I like my pumpkin stuff a little spicy, used old-fashioned oats, and added both mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate Ghirardelli chocolate chips. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because they were a little too gooey and didn’t firm up as much as I would’ve liked (even after being in the fridge for an hour). The taste is spectacular though – like eating cookie dough but without the stomach ache and the guilt!

    This recipe is so delicious! The batter is so yummy, I couldn’t even wait for it to harden into balls! I have made these twice in the last two days because the whole batch doesn’t last me long…

    I made these a d put them in the oven at 350 for around 10 minutes. They turned out really good but I think next time I will flatten them a bit. They would be really good with a cream cheese topping.

    I had to add a lot more butter and sugar. And they don’t feel firm but I think I’ll freeze them an hour before serving 😉 very yummy
