Step one: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (360 F)
Place all of your ingredients (excluding the chocolate chips) in a mixing bowl.

Recipe Tips
Here is how you can make this Pumpkin Cookie perfectly every time!
- I use oat flour for a smoother texture, however this recipe will work with quick cook rolled oats that haven't been blitzed into a flour.
- When I have the oven on to make a dinner, I will often roast extra pumpkin so that I can easily make a sweet rich pumpkin puree for recipes like these cookies, pumpkin muffins or pumpkin pancakes.
- The cookie dough can be quite sticky, if you use damp spoons and have damp hands it will make the pumpkin cookie dough easier to work with.
- If you are a fan of pumpkin spice and would like to incorporate pumpkin pie spice flavor into your cookies add ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger and ½ teaspoon cinnamon to the recipe.
- Store these cookies in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 5 days or freeze for up to four months.
How To Make This Recipe Suitable For Baby-Led-Weaning
- These are soft chewy pumpkin cookies which makes them a suitable texture for young children. Be sure not to over cook the cookies you should be able to easily squash the cookie with your finger.

- Be sure not to use honey as a sweetener if you are making this recipe for a child under one year of age.
- Using oat flour instead of traditional rolled oats in there cookies gives the cookie a soft smooth texture.

Looks great! I have a butternut squash, would that work as well instead of the pumpkin? Thanks!
