Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped pecans (Optional)
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
• ½ cup coconut oil
• 1 cup oats
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mix water and ground flax seed together in a bowl, creating a "flaxegg"; set aside until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Beat raw sugar, coconut sugar, and coconut oil together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; add pumpkin puree, flaxegg, and vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 4

Pour pumpkin mixture into flour mixture and stir just until dough is combined; fold in chocolate chips and pecans. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a small ice cream scoop.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned around the edges, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
