    Happy Spring!

    That is, of course, unless you are located in the Southern Hemisphere.

    Then in that case, Happy Fall!

    Seriously, we can go from a few hours of winter to a few hours of summer to something reminiscent of spring/fall...all in the same day!

    So then, it really doesn't matter that I'm posting an autumn-themed treat today on the first day of spring.

    In my mind, pumpkin is awesome any time of the year!

    And since this recipe requires the canned version of this winter squash, it really doesn't matter when you make it.

    It's not like you need to pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch or anything. 😉

    These blissful bites of pumpkin-y perfection will have you going pumpkin crazy all year long!

    Not only are they tasty (I mean, they're formed from edible gluten-free cookie dough...hello), but they are also filled with better-for-you ingredients like unsweetened applesauce, whole-grain oat flour, vitamin-packed pumpkin puree and Ceylon cinnamon as well as the natural sweeteners coconut sugar and pure maple syrup.

    Oh, and of course, we can't forget about the refined sugar-free chocolate chips.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup pumpkin puree (canned)
    • ½ cup coconut sugar
    • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 ¼ cup whole-grain, gluten-free oat flour
    • ⅜ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ cup vegan, refined sugar-free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life or Davis Chocolate)

    Instructions

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    • Using a spoon, mix pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, applesauce and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
    • Stir in oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt.
    • Fold in chocolate chips.
    • Use a small cookie scoop (I recommend a #60 disher) to scoop out dough and form into balls with your hands (If you find the dough is hard to work with, refrigerate the bowl of dough for 10 minutes before scooping). Place dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheet (makes approximately 14-15 dough balls depending on the size of your scoop).
    • Place the sheet with the cookie dough balls in the freezer for 10 minutes.
