Pumpkin Walnut Cookies
I have been trying to eat a healthier diet. That has meant cutting sugar. But sometimes I just need a sweet treat. This recipe has just a tiny bit of honey and sugar-free chocolate chips. I store them in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
¾ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup coconut oil melted
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup coconut flour
1 ½ cup almond flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup sugar free chocolate chips
Preheat oven
to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl
combine the pumpkin, oil, eggs, vanilla and honey.
In a separate
bowl mix the flours, walnuts, chocolate chips, baking powder, and spices.
Add the wet
ingredients to the wet ingredients. Line
a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a 2 tablespoon size drop of dough
onto the sheet. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes until no longer wet and are starting to turn brown.
