Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 scoops protein powder 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
  • dash salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats quick oats also work
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup sugar alternative such as Splenda or allulose

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Add the pumpkin purée, almond flour, protein powder, sugar-free maple syrup, salt, pumpkin pie spice, rolled oats, chocolate chips, and sugar alternative to a large mixing bowl. Mix until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion lightly and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Press each portion down with the tines of a fork. Turn the fork and press again in the opposite direction to create a crosshatch pattern.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cookies look set.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.
