Super Easy Pumpkin Cookies
Makes 14-18 cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 chia eggs (1 chia egg = 1 Tbsp chia seeds + 3 Tbsp water
- 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
- 2 1/4 cups buckwheat or millet flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4-5 tsp organic pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or a few drops of food-safe vanilla essential oil)
Instructions
-
Set oven to 375. Cover a baking sheet with non-toxic parchment paper.
-
Combine 2 Tbsp chia seeds with 6 Tbsp water, stir, and set aside to thicken.
-
Combine the coconut sugar and buckwheat/millet flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and sea salt in a high-speed blender or mixing bowl.
-
Add pumpkin puree, coconut oil, chia eggs, and vanilla extract and mix once more.
-
Roll the dough into balls and place on the baking sheet. (I found having wet hands helps with the stickiness). Flatten slightly - the dough will stay in the same shape as it bakes.
-
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
-
Cool for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
I grind buckwheat and millet into a flour using my Vitamix, but you can easily use store-bought as well!
