Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes
Yield 9 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120g)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (64g)
  • 1/3 cup cashew butter or almond butter (or allergy friendly alternative) (80g)
  • 3 tbsp sugar or xylitol (36g)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice or additional cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 handful chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
  • 2. Gently warm up the nut butter until thin and easy to stir.
  • 3. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix well.
  • 4. Vigorously stir in wet ingredients to form a batter, breaking up any clumps of nut butter as you stir. Stop when the texture resembles cookie dough. To avoid gummy results, do not add any water.
  • 5. Roll into balls or cookie shapes. Use a spoon to flatten if desired, as the pumpkin protein cookies do not flatten on their own.
  • 6. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake 8-11 minutes in the oven, depending on whether you want soft or chewy cookies.
  • 7. Let cool, then enjoy!
