Spiced Pumpkin Cookies
These Spiced Pumpkin Cookies are a healthy vegan treat to satisfy your sweet tooth for fall and Halloween.
Servings 23 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice*
- ¾ cup raw sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup raisins (I substituted cranberries)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and allspice. Stir to blend well.
- In a large bowl combine the sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, whisk to blend.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. Stir in raisins.
- On a baking sheet with parchment paper, drop one tablespoon of batter, leaving one inch apart between each cookie. Moisten your fingertips and flatten each cookie into a two-inch diameter round.
- Sprinkle each cookie with a bit more raw sugar.
- Bake the cookies until brown and a bit firm to the touch, 17 to 20 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely.
Notes
*If you do not have Allspice ground from the store, you can make your own just by mixing up an equal part of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
