Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling!
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup paleo chocolate chips
  • 1 ounce chopped paleo dark chocolate bar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spread the pumpkin puree out on a plate. Pat the pumpkin puree with a paper towel to absorb most of the excess moisture from the puree. (It will still have some moisture, you just want it to be a little more dry.)
  • Combine the pumpkin puree with the coconut sugar, vanilla, almond butter and avocado oil. Mix to fully combine.
  • Add the almond flour, tapioca flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking powder to the wet mixture and mix until there are just a few streaks of flour left in the batter. Add the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bar pieces to the dough. Mix to combine.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop out equal amounts of dough and flatten on a parchment lined cookie sheet in a cookie shape. (They will not spread when in the oven).
  • Place in the 400 degree oven for 8 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake. They should be "doughy" when you take them out. They will firm up and continue to bake once removed from the oven. Remove, allow to cool for 15- 20 minutes. Enjoy with a cold glass of almond milk or a pumpkin spice latte! ;)
