Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree


• 1 large egg


• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour


• 1 and 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats


• 1/4 cup granulated sugar


• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar


• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder


• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda


• 1/4 teaspoon salt


• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves


• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.


2. In a mixing bowl whisk together pumpkin, egg, and vanilla until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. Fold together the wet and dry ingredients until just combined – do not overmix. The cookie dough will be very thick. Taste the dough and add a pinch of salt if needed.


3. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets and slightly flatten to the shape you want your cookie. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for at least 3 minutes and transfer to a wire rack. Cookies stay fresh at room temperature for 3 days in an airtight container.


4. Gluten-Free: Use almond flour or oat flour instead of whole wheat or all-purpose flour.


5. Sweetener: Try these with 1/2 cup of coconut sugar instead of the listed brown sugar and granulated sugar. They’re so tasty!
