- 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice

How To Make Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Start by preheating the oven to 325F, and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. I’m talking about the oats, wheat flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, salt, and baking powder.
It’s time to measure the wet ingredients, in another clean bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, coconut oil, vanilla extract, milk, and honey until well combined. Pour in the mixed dry ingredients and using a spatula, stir all of the ingredients together until combined but make sure not to overmix.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, scoop up 15 little round cookie dough and place them on the baking sheet. Using your fingertips or a spatula, flatten each dough to form a cookie shape. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes.
Finally, remove the cookies from the oven and let it cool for an extra 10 minutes before placing them on a wire rack.

Tip: these cookies will continue to bake after removing them from the oven so make sure not to overbake. Also, don’t expect these pumpkin oatmeal cookies to spread like other cookies, plus you shouldn’t be alarmed if the color remains the same before and after baking.
