Pumpkin Maple Spice Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats ((ground to course oat flour))
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons softened coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 40 drops vanilla cream stevia
  • 1oz cream cheese (softened) (** TOPPING **)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (** TOPPING **)
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract (** TOPPING **)
  • 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon (** TOPPING **)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine ground oats, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and coconut sugarin a medium sized bowl. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
Step 2
Add egg, extracts, pumpkin, coconut oil, stevia, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Drop by large spoonfuls onto a lined or non stick sprayed cookie sheet. Press down each cookie slightly (this dough will hold the shape as it bakes). Bake for 8-10 minutes until tops are set but cookie is still soft to the touch.
Step 4
Let cookies cool and prepare topping by combining softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and maple extract in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until everything is well mixed.
Step 5
Once cookies have cooled completely, top each one with 1 tsp of the topping and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top if desired.
