Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a cookie sheet with a silicone cookie sheet liner or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, coconut oil, and maple syrup together with a fork or whisk. Add the vanilla and egg to the bowl and mix until just incorporated. Add the cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves and mix.
  • In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and salt with a fork.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until creamy. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Take heaping Tablespoon sized spoonfuls of the dough, and roll them between your hands, and place them onto the cookie sheet. Lightly press down on them with the back of a spoon. 
  • Bake for 13-17 minutes. Let them sit for 5 mins on the pan, then remove them from pan.
  • This recipe yields 14-15 cookies.

Notes

  • Instead of using ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, you can just use 2-3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Instead of coconut oil, you can use avocado oil or olive oil.
  • Instead of tapioca flour, you can use arrowroot powder.
