Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (180g) rolled oats
1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
1 large egg
¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (75g) raisins
¼ cup (20g) unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, ¼ cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 ½ teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the bowl. Stir with a spatula until everything is evenly incorporated. The batter will be thick and sticky.
Gently fold in ½ cup of raisins and ¼ cup of shredded coconut (if using). Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop heaping portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops look set. For a crisper cookie, bake for the full 15 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If your dough seems too wet, add an extra tablespoon or two of oats. If it seems too dry, add a splash of milk or water. The dough should be scoopable and hold its shape. These cookies freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
