I LOVE that FALL is in the air and all I can think of is pumpkin. I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin brownies, pumpkin rolls, but when you are trying to lose weight or maintain – eating all those things will not get you to your goals. My youngest and I decided we needed a healthy treat the other day so we made a healthy batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are not loaded with the bad stuff, egg free, and gluten/grain free too. Now when you have that pumpkin craving like I do you can whip these yummy cookies up and they won’t add more junk to your back-end.

These look so great but mine would not cook enough to be solid they just fall apart like there is too much liquid vs flour? Any idea what went wrong for me? Thanks
Hi Lexi,
I am not sure they work for me and maybe try not adding in the maple syrup? I have had many challengers in my fitness groups make them without any issues. If you are using fresh pumpkin that can add more water content, but otherwise they are a very soft cookie because they have no egg to bind.

I’m having issues with mine too! Followed the recipe to a T and they are soupy! I used canned pumpkin and the syrup and the almond flour and they are not cooking. Do I need to freeze them?
Hey Lori,
Man I am not sure why they are not working for people I only added the ingredients you see. I did not add any oats to them only the almond flour. I really apologize maybe try them without the maple syrup I must have written down the amount incorrectly because mine turned out as you see photographed. I have made them again with no issues as well. Sorry for the issues.

Maybe you have the wrong size can of pumpkin listed? 15 oz is a really big can, the smaller cans are 8.
Hi Kelly,
Nope 15 oz is correct the size of a can of soup not the bigger size. 😉 Amee
Hi there! Thanks for the recipe. I tried it tonight and actually made my own version after reading the comments. I made 25 cookies out of the mix plus an extra splash of vanilla extract, one tablespoon more of chips and cooked them for 23 minutes. My husband & I think they are pretty good for being a healthy and natural alternative. Thanks:)
Hi Kristin,
Glad you liked them and yep making your own version is great too. I bake and cook that way a lot myself. 😉 Amee
Mine are currently in the oven. I was able to make 30 cookies out of the batch. I am wondering how this would correlate to the serving size and containers? Thanks
Hi Jenna,
Two cookies equal a yellow I hope this helps and you enjoyed them. 🙂
Would coconut flour work instead of the almond flour?
Hi Stephanie,
I am sorry just seeing this and I doubt it would work. The only way to know is try. 🙂
If I want to use pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin how would I adapt the recipe?
It should come out the same as most of my recipes are made with real pumpkin. Real pumpkin could make it more watery if that is the case add a tad bit more almond flour.
