Ingredients notes:

oat flour – you may use a store bought one or grind your own. Its a healthier grain with complex carbohydrates and is a great source of iron.

banana – I like to sweeten my desserts naturally so therefore, I used banana here as a sweetener as well as an egg replacer.

almond butter – try to use unflavored almond butter here especially that has no added sugar so as to make these pumpkin oatmeal cookies as healthy as possible.

Pumpkin puree – you may use your own homemade one but I used canned pumpkin puree for convenience.

How to make Almond Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Firstly, in a mixing bowl, I combined oat flour, baking powder and salt. Then, I mixed it well and kept it aside.

secondly, I whipped up the almond butter, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract in another bowl. Then, I kept it aside too.

Thereafter, I folded in wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with mashed bananas. Then, I whipped it up into a thick and soft batter.

Afterwards, with the help of a cookie scoop I scooped 15 of them on a prepared cookie sheet and shaped them slightly.

Next, I topped each of them with slivered almonds and baked them in the middle rack of the oven for about 30 minutes.

Once done, I turned it off and took them out. I lay them on a flat surface to cool down completely.

We were so craving for these that we did not even let them cool completely. I decided to pop them while they were still warm.

So, I would highly recommend you to let these cool down completely. While cooling down, they firm up as well and becomes easier to eat also.

I did not use pumpkin pie spice because this time Yashvi wanted a pumpkin cookie without the spice. Trust me you wont even miss those spices and yet feel fall in every bite.

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 try baking them and enjoy the festival season with this deliciousness.

This is a low calorie dessert comparatively and still so moist and scrumptious.

I guarantee that once to bake them, you are gonna make them again for the entire season.

Most importantly, they are not overly sweetened and are perfectly balanced with other flavors.
