Almond Flour Pumpkin Cookies

These Almond Flour Pumpkin Cookies are soft, chewy, and filled with pumpkin flavor. This easy recipe comes together within minutes, and is also vegan and refined sugar-free.

I know it is the middle of summer, but I love pumpkin all year round. I especially love pumpkin when it is paired with chocolate because chocolate makes everything better!

These Almond Flour Pumpkin Cookies are so good that I have been making them almost every day! There is something so nostalgic about biting into a soft pumpkin cookie that is filled with melted chocolate chips and warm cinnamon flavor. This recipe could not be any easier to make, and utilizes healthier ingredients that you can feel good about splurging on!

why this recipe works

This recipe utilizes a combination of almond flour and oat flour to create a soft, chewy, and naturally gluten-free cookie. Almond flour has a high-fat content. This works wonders in healthy baking to create rich and moist treats like this Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread.

Canned pumpkin not only gives these cookies their delicious flavor but also works as an egg replacement in vegan baking. Pumpkin ensures these cookies are perfectly soft and flavorful.

These cookies get their sweetness from the combination of maple syrup and chocolate chips. After a lot of recipe testing, I found that 1/4 of a cup of maple syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness.

Pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon work together to ensure that these little gems are filled with warm and comforting flavors in every bite. If you do not have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 a teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/8 a teaspoon of ground cloves.
