Soft-Baked Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a healthier, fall-inspired twist to the classic cookie! Paleo & Vegan friendly!
I’ve been dreaming to make these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for a good while now. I mean, how can you go wrong with anything pumpkin and chocolate? The only thing that was holding me back from making them was the fact they are almost too simple to be a recipe.
You take pumpkin, which is a basic fall flavor, and add it to chocolate chip cookies, which is a basic cookie flavor.
I was afraid that they were going to be too basic and not good enough to post on the blog. But THANK GOD, I was completely wrong. These cookies are anything but basic.
They have the most perfect texture a cookie can have (in my opinion). I am personally not a crunchy cookie person, as I’d rather eat a soft-baked cookie. These cookies are soft, moist, and fluffy, aka perfection.
They are the perfect kinda cookies for dunking if you’re into that. If you’re feeling extra basic, you can dunk them in your PSL 😉
Here are the 7 ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe
almond flour
almond butter or other nut butter of choice
canned pumpkin puree
an egg (or flax egg)
pure maple syrup or another liquid sweetener of choice
baking soda
mini dark chocolate chips or regular-sized chocolate chips

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” – Romans 8:1-4 ESV
YUM!! Absolutely cannot wait to try these!! Loving that texture 🙂
Hey!! Can you use oat flour or any other flour in place if the almond flour here? 🙂 xo
Yes oat flour will work! Any flour besides coconut flour should be a good sub 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
Thank you, Brittany! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Thoughts for low GI subs for the honey?
Hi Danielle,
This recipe actually uses maple syrup which has a lower GI than honey! Feel free to use less 🙂
I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE soft baked cookies too. These are perfect for fall.
Thank you Emily! <3
Hi! Thanks for this recipe! I have made it at least 5 times in the last few weeks. I tried with flax and liked it a lot. I really like experimenting with egg substitutes, so I swapped it out for Apple Sauce and I think you should try it since you love soft cookies. I am kind of obsessed. Oh! And I add Pumpkin Pie Spice! It’s like a Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Chip Cookie! Thanks again for sharing this recipe. My family and I really love it.
