Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120g)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (64g)
- 1/3 cup cashew butter (or almond butter or allergy friendly alternative) (80g)
- 3 tbsp sugar (or xylitol) (36g)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or additional cinnamon)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 handful chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325° F.
- Gently warm up the nut butter until thin and easy to stir.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix well.
- Vigorously stir in wet ingredients to form a batter, breaking up any clumps of nut butter as you stir. Stop when the texture resembles cookie dough. To avoid gummy results, do not add any water.
- Roll into balls or cookie shapes. Use a spoon to flatten if desired, as the pumpkin protein cookies do not flatten on their own.
- Place on a cookie sheet. Bake 8-11 minutes in the oven, depending on whether you want soft or chewy cookies.
- Let cool, then enjoy!
