Soft Pumpkin Cookies Recipe | Gluten Free, Dairy Free Fall Recipes

Dairy Free, Desserts, Gluten Free, Healthy Recipes

Happy Fall Y’all! Fall is just about here, finally! The Virginia air is getting crisp and it feels like pumpkin season! What better way to start pumpkin season than to make my favorite, soft Pumpkin Cookies! My mom’s made this recipe since I was a kid, but I swapped the ingredients to make it gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. I wouldn’t say they’re “healthy”, but they’re healthier than the original recipe. (If you like fall recipes but you’re not into pumpkin, check out my Apple Crisp recipe!)

Let me just bring this up for a second before getting onto the recipe. Not everything that is gluten free is healthy! There’s a very common misconception that gluten free is healthier. It can be if you’re eating mostly fruits, vegetables, healthy gluten free grains (like quinoa), and healthy proteins. But if you’re eating gluten free pancake mix, gluten free dinner rolls, gluten free cookies, gluten free cereal, etc., those foods are actually higher in carbs (most of the time), than their gluten filled counterparts.

Now that that’s addressed, let’s talk Pumpkin Cookies!

(FYI, I already posted this recipe in my Facebook Group, which is where I post all I recipes normally. So if you love healthy recipes and gluten free desserts, join here.)

The original recipe was HUGE, so before swapping anything, I split the recipe in half. I’m also using 3 different gluten free flours. I’m using part almond flour, part oat flour, and part all-purpose gluten free flour. (The all-purpose gluten free flours are normally a higher glycemic index due to the kinds of flours used in the mixture. That’s why I do more than half with the almond/oat flour mixture…it’s healthier.) You can use only all-purpose if you want though. It shouldn’t affect the recipe.

Let’s get started!

This recipe makes about 20 cookies. You’ll need…

1 ¼ cups + 2 tbsp Gluten Free Flour (I did ¼ cup Almond Flour, ½ cup Gluten Free Oat Flour, and ½ cup + 2 tbsp Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour.)

½ tsp Baking Soda

½ tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Ground Cinnamon

¼ tsp Nutmeg

¼ tsp Salt

¾ cup + ½ tbsp. Coconut Sugar/Organic Raw Cane Sugar (I did ¼ cup Raw Cane Sugar, the rest Coconut Sugar)

½ cup softened Coconut Oil (you can use butter if you’re not dairy free)

½ cup Pumpkin

1 small egg (or ½ large egg)

½ tsp Vanilla

First things first: Preheat the oven to 350°F

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl.

In a large mixing bowl (This one’s my favorite), cream together the sugar and coconut oil (I used a hand mixer for this.) Then, add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to the sugar/oil mixture.

Next, stir the flour mixture into the liquid mixture. The dough should be really soft, almost like cake batter.

Drop spoonful’s of the dough onto the cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

That’s it! Super easy, tasty, and it will make your kitchen smell like fall! Let me know if you give these a try…I’d love to hear how you like them! Enjoy!

Clean Circle sent me their *NEW* Dissolvable Eye M Clean Circle sent me their *NEW* Dissolvable Eye Masks to try! 

I LOVE all of my other Clean Circle products and use them daily so I was so excited when they reached out asking me to test the new eye masks!

Pros:
-They truly are dissolvable in hot water! The eye mask themselves does not cause any waste.
-They work! I tried the lightening/brightening eye mask and it really did work. I suffer from awful dark circles and it did brighten my under eyes. 

Personal Cons:
-They do come in a plastic jar. For the nature of the product though, I understand why.
-They do contain propylene glycol, pentylene glycol, and phenoxyethanol which I do try and avoid. (Check out any of my posts listing ingredients I avoid for the reasoning.) 

Overall, I love Clean Circle as a company and I’m obsessed with their Konjac Sponge, Reusable Makeup Remover Pads, and Reusable Skincare Pads!

People (and doctors) love to blame “genetics” People (and doctors) love to blame “genetics” for their health issues.

Is genetics really to blame though?? Less than 10% of c**cer is actually caused by genetics. Type 2 diabetes is diet related.

So are genes to blame? Or are the habits and lifestyle choices passed down a MUCH BIGGER issue than genetics?

I’d say the latter is true. If you grew up with your parents/grandparents using Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, that’s probably what you’ll buy too. If you grew up with a bunch of Kelloggs and General Mills snacks in the pantry, you’ll probably walk those same grocery isles. If you grew up in a house “freshened” with Febreze, glade plug ins, and yankee candles, you’ll probably do the same. If your parents cleaned with Lysol and used Downey scent boosters in the laundry, there’s a good chance those are the cleaning products you’ll buy.

Break the cycle! Do your research! It’s never too late to start swapping products and to start making better food choices! 

Follow along for tips to help you in your wellness journey!

Fontana sent me their *NEW* Pure Vanilla candle to Fontana sent me their *NEW* Pure Vanilla candle to try! 

To be honest, I’m usually not a fan of Vanilla scents. I always LOVE the way they smell, but after a few minutes, I end up with a nauseating migraine. 

The Pure Vanilla candle from @fontanacandlecompany smells like actual vanilla! Not artificial vanilla. The best way to describe the scent is like vanilla bean ice cream. 

Fontana candles are completely toxin free! Use the link in my bio with the code SIMPLYSARENA15 for 15% off your Fontana purchase!

Summer is almost here and you know what that means Summer is almost here and you know what that means!! Tailgates, barbecues, potlucks, picnics!

All of these activities usually include lots of dressings, sauces, and other condiments…

Unfortunately, most condiments contain
❌ High Fructose Corn Syrup
❌ Canola Oil or Soybean Oil
❌ Preservatives like Sodium Benzoate 
❌ Natural Flavors

These condiments from Wegmans are much cleaner options that your name brand condiments. A few of the cleaner options do have xanthan gum, organic smoke flavor, and organic spices on the ingredient label however, they are still much better choices than the name brand junk.

I love that Wegmans has dressings and Mayo made with avocado oil and the rest of their condiments are pretty affordable too! 

*Pro Tip* download the Wegmans app and clip the coupons. If you buy anything with a clipped coupon from the app, the discount gets applied when you checkout!

I strive for toxin free, but there are still some I strive for toxin free, but there are still some things I can’t give up 🙈 

I really like the 80/20 rule! Try to be as toxin free as you can while giving yourself grace because you’re human and our world is so toxic it’s hard to 100% avoid!

I am a woman…a woman is an adult human female. I I am a woman…a woman is an adult human female. I am not a “cis woman”, do not call me that…just get rid of that term please! 

I’m so sick of men playing dress up and mocking women AND profiting off of it! They might think they “feel” like a woman, but how do they know what a woman feels like?? They don’t! There’s no way for them to know because they are not one.

But do not bully these people, do not spread hate towards them. Treat them how you would want to be treated. Love them, give them real support, not affirming support but real love and support to help them address the root of why they believe this about themselves. We do not need more hate in this world. 

Could this behavior be trauma that hasn’t been addressed? Likely. Could it be their bodies are so overloaded with estrogen mimicking chemicals that have altered their hormonal responses? Likely too. Could it be trendy and they want to fit in with a certain group? Probably. 

Big pharma is using these people for financial gain! These affirming doctors don’t care about you…they care about pushing this agenda for profit. It’s not a medically cheap lifestyle and they know it. 

It’s sad that people are being fooled and misled. But God doesn’t make mistakes. No one was born in the wrong body. And if you’re feeling unfulfilled in life, maybe you need God to fulfill you in a way nothing on this earth can.
