Another Rainy Day...

Another rainy day... with extreme fun and a great treat.

Thank you Courtney for thinking of us and creating a play date that was beyond fun. Little Aiden and I are big fans of ZmamaB's Kitchen!

Here is the recipe for the cookies we made today:

Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Author: Eating Bird Food (Eating Bird Food)

Ingredients

1 cup spelt flour (all purpose flour will work too)

½ cup old fashioned oats

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon sea salt

pinch of ground nutmeg

¾ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 cup sucanat or other raw, natural sugar

¼ cup extra virgin coconut oil

½ Tablespoon ground flaxseed

1 teaspoon pure vanilla

¼ cup vegan chocolate chips or carob chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Stir together dry ingredients (flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, sea salt, nutmeg) in a mixing bowl.

Mix together wet ingredients (pumpkin, sugar, coconut oil, flaxseed and vanilla) in a separate mixing bowl.

Combine wet and dry ingredients.

Stir in ¼ cup chocolate chips. Mix well.

Drop rounded tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet. Press cookie dough down into a cookie shape with a spoon or your fingers. Cookies won't spread very much so you can space them about 1 inch apart.

Bake for 15-16 minutes.

Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely before eating or transferring to a storage container for later consumption.
