Description
Healthy pumpkin and coconut cookies that taste like a pumpkin oatmeal cookie but are grain free and Paleo friendly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup almond butter (creamy, unsalted, unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (liquid sugar-free sweetener for low carb)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (50g)
