What You’ll Need:
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- ¼ cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
- ½ cup pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 cup oats (I used gluten-free)
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Let’s Bake! Step-by-Step Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond butter, pumpkin, and pumpkin spice. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in oats. Ensure the oats are evenly distributed.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently.
- Scoop onto a lined baking sheet (parchment paper or a silicone baking mat is recommended) and flatten slightly (this batch made 6 cookies). Add more chocolate chips on top if desired for extra deliciousness!
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Ovens vary, so check for doneness – the edges should be lightly golden.
- Remove from oven, add flaky sea salt (optional), and enjoy! 🧡
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter and softer your cookies will be.
- Don’t Overbake: These cookies are best when they are soft and chewy. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Gluten-Free Option: Using gluten-free oats makes these cookies suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Nut Butter Substitution: Feel free to use any nut butter you prefer – peanut butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter.
