Healthy Pumpkin Cookies
This comment left really sums up the cookies: These pumpkin cookies are made with 5 simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen! I like to refer to them as “healthyish” because they’re made without any white sugar, butter and oil. Chocolate chips are optional to add on top, but if you have a sweet tooth like me you always add them! We always make a couple batches of these pumpkin oatmeal cookies in the Fall along with our favorite fluffy pumpkin pancakes and baked pumpkin donuts (better than the farmers market!). I hope you try them soon!

How to Make Easy Pumpkin Cookies
Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin, oats, syrup, peanut butter, and pumpkin pie spice with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. The dough will be sticky, so wet your fingers a little to make rolling easier. Place the balls on the baking sheets. Press each ball gently with your fingers or a spoon to flatten into a cookie shape. Don’t press too hard. Add 5-8 chocolate chips on top of each cookie if you like. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Serve and enjoy! I hope you love these 5 ingredient healthy pumpkin cookies as much as my family does!
