HEALTHY PUMPKIN OAT COOKIES

While very tasty and satisfying, these healthy pumpkin oat cookies are more functional snack than decadent treat. At just 88 calories, 1 gram of fat and 17 grams of carbs each, these cookies are the perfect pre or post-workout energizer and easy to fit into a healthy diet. If you’re after a decadent dessert cookie, this is not the recipe for you however if you’re looking for a simple, nutritious pumpkin snack, you’ve come to the right place.

Yep, it’s true, you only need 3 ingredients needed to make these! Organic pure pumpkin puree, oats and sweetener. I use organic stevia to sweeten mine, alternatively you could use a little agave or maple syrup.

I do recommend using the best pumpkin puree you can find as it’s flavour and texture is far superior to some of the cheaper brands out there. The best one I’ve found and my go-to for all my pumpkin recipes is Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin. It’s super smooth and creamy and has a delicious, subtly sweet pumpkin flavour.
