Notes

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.
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.
You can skip the chocolate chips if you are making this recipe for a young child.
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.
Pumpkin purée: You can use canned, pumpkin baby food or homemade pumpkin purée.
Peanut butter: This recipe will work with any nut butter or sunflower seed butter is a nut-free alternative.
Maple syrup: Honey can also be used as a sweetener for children over a year of age. This recipe will also work with brown sugar, coconut sugar or granulated sugar..
Oat flour: Making homemade oat flour is really easy, you just need rolled oats and a food processor or blender.
Dark chocolate chips: The chocolate chips are not essential but do add some extra yum factor for older kids. If you need this recipe to be dairy-free be sure to check the ingredient list of your chocolate chips.
