You guys.

These vegan pumpkin cookies are the fluffiest cookie ever created.

They’re hearty, they’re made healthier by using whole wheat flour, coconut oil, LOADS of pumpkin, and maple syrup, and oh yeah, they’re super delish.

What ingredients are in vegan pumpkin cookies?

• Bob’s Red Mill 100% Stone Ground Organic Whole Wheat Flour <– their flour hasa protein content of 13-15% and is loaded with fiber, yes please!
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, salt
• Coconut oil
• Maple syrup
• Brown sugar
• Pumpkin purée
• Vanilla

How do you measure whole wheat flour?

Whole wheat flour is much more dense than all-purpose flour, so be sure to use the “spoon and level” method to measure your flour! To do this, use a spoon to scoop the flour into a measuring cup, then you’ll use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.

Easy. Peasy. And it’ll ensure you won’t overmeasure and make cookies that are too dense!

How do i make healthier whole wheat pumpkin cookies?

1. Whisk together your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder/soda, and spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt

3. Fold the dry ingredients and wet ingredients together
4. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the cookies onto two silicone mat lined baking sheets (you’ll make 12 cookies total – 6 on each baking sheet)
5. Bake for 15-25 minutes at 350ºF
