Almond Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Almond Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies are outstanding and flavorful delectable dessert. These creaveable cookies are made with nutritious ingredients and are soft and chewy that easily melts in the mouth. These cookies have all the fall flavors that bring extreme joy to the taste buds and satisfaction to enjoy the weather.

Recently, I have been baking cookies quite a bit and I am enjoying it immensely. Every fall and winter, I make sure to improvise on my baking skills. Also, I feel it’s the perfect time to be near the oven to get the delicious and aromatic warmth from it. To add to the happiness house smells soooo good and festive. The leaves change into beautiful orange and red color and the mild wind sends chill all over our bodies. It’s the perfect time to enjoy warm and fresh out of oven Almond Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies.

It’s quite simple to bake these cookies because I always try to make quick cookies with easily available ingredients. For this, I combined the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl I combined pumpkin puree, almond butter and vanilla extract. Thereafter, I folded the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. Afterwards, I added mashed bananas into it. Then, I whipped it very nicely so there are no lumps and all the ingredients are extremely well blended. Then, with the help of ice cream/cookie scoop I placed the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet. Lastly, I topped the cookies with slivered almonds and baked them in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.

I did not use pumpkin pie spice because this time Yashvi wanted a pumpkin cookie without the spice. Also, I tried to make a versatile cookie recipe that would resemble Indian sweets because along with Halloween and thanksgiving coming up Indian festivals are also in the line. Therefore, I tried to bake a versatile dessert that would be suitable to serve in the Indian Festivals as well as enjoy them throughout the fall season.

I would highly recommend trying baking these cookies and enjoy the festival season with this deliciousness. These cookies have a reasonable shelve life. Simply store them in an air tight container at the room temperature for up to a week.

These cookies are very soft from inside and chewy from outside.

It’s perfect for even those who are not very fond of pumpkins because you may not even taste pumpkin too much in these cookies.

For us the sweetness was perfect but if you are looking for sweeter cookies feel free to add 1 tbsp. of your choice of sweetener in the batter just before shaping them.

For gluten free option - use gluten free oat flour. If it isn’t available just grind your regular gluten free oats into a flour form.
