I wanted to be further inspired to prepare other pumpkin recipes at a later time (and maybe sooner than I thought) with a now-open can of pumpkin I used for my recipe below.
I can’t begin to tell you how delicious these cookies turned out! Imagine, if you will, what pumpkin pie might taste like paired with oatmeal in a light, fluffy, cake-like cookie – that is what these are like. Wonderful, and healthy, too! Originally adapted from Roni’s Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal recipe, I added 1/4 cup more pumpkin, a tad more spices (because I’m a speecy-spicy lover), replacing sugar for Truvia (making it EVEN healthier) and I used whole flax instead of ground (making it taste nutty).The result? Unbelievable, and less than 100 calories for three (see Roni’s post for the nutritional breakdown, taking into considering it’ll be slightly less with no sugar).
There is no egg, no oil, it’s all healthy. Also note that they are VERY filling, so be sure to not shove a bunch in your mouth at once, or be prepared to feel like Santa Claus for a while. Don’t ask how I know this. Ahem.
