Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie
These cookies have all of my fav ingredients-pumpkin, oatmeal, Fall spices, dried cranberries and of course dark chocolate chips. Yes they are a treat, but they are a healthy one that I indulge in for fall. And I don’t feel bad about it either. They are packed in fiber, protein and omegas and as low in sugar as a good cookie can get. Coconut oil replaces butter so you are actually getting the healthy fats our bodies need instead of pure saturated fat form butter. Enjoy. They are fantastic frozen too.Gluten-Free Version: Omit whole wheat flour and add 1/2 cup more of oats and quinoa flour.
