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!

When you think of a snack, what kind of food do yo When you think of a snack, what kind of food do you think of? One of my girlfriends asked me this morning what some healthy snack options are besides protein bars and I realized, so many people associate snacks with packaged food...quick grab and go things like a bag of potato chips, granola bars (loaded with sugar), snack cakes, fruit snacks, popcorn, etc. 

Snacks don’t have to be junk and snacks can be quick, easy, and made with REAL FOOD! 

Swipe through for some of my favorite snacks!

🥑 Avocado Toast: I use @foodforlifebaking sprouted grains gluten free bread, spread a ripe avocado on it, and top it with some everything bagel seasoning. To pack for work, I pack the avocado separately then spread it over the toast when I’m ready to eat it.

🥜 Rice Cake & Nut Butter: I use @lundbergfarms rice cakes and top it with some peanut butter or almond butter. Sometimes, I even add cacao nibs on top. 

🍇 Yogurt & Fruit: I like the @foragerproject plain cashew yogurt and I add blueberries to it! 

🍌 Banana (or other fruit) & Nut Butter: One of the quickest, go-to snacks for me is peanut butter and banana. It’s sweet, salty, and filling! I use organic, natural peanut butter (the only ingredient should be peanuts). 

🥕 Hummus and Veggies or Crackers (or both): I love the Wegmans red pepper hummus (check the ingredients...the one I like is made with olive oil, the others are made with canola oil 🤢) paired with @marysgonecrackers or organic veggies!

Regenerative Agriculture can pretty much save the Regenerative Agriculture can pretty much save the planet 🌎 

Me and a few of my girlfriends went to a pumpkin patch with a corn maze and the clues through the corn maze were all about regenerative agriculture! 

Regenerative agriculture doesn’t use pesticides or herbicides like roundup which add loads of toxic chemicals into the environment and our food. They don’t till the land which depletes the soil. The soil then turns to dirt which you can’t grow anything in. Dirt also doesn’t absorb water the way soil does which can lead to natural disasters like floods and fires. No monocropping...diversifying your crops produces more food and if you plan accordingly, crops can help other crops grow by protecting them from pests or even too much sunlight! 

Random post for a Sunday night, but visiting a farm that uses regenerative agriculture was inspiring and reminded me why it’s so important and how much work we need to do to fix our food system! 🌾🌽🥦🍅🥕

🌱Today is Health Coach Day!!!🌱 My journey s 🌱Today is Health Coach Day!!!🌱

My journey started about 10 years ago with my skin issues, which turned out to be gut issues manifesting in my skin. 

The gut issues I was having was due to a poor, gluten heavy diet. My body was struggling to properly digest gluten which was causing me sinus issues and headaches on top of my skin problems. 

I cut out gluten, healed my gut, and cured my acne, headaches, sinus problems, and allergies! These problems are all caused by inflammation! Most chronic illnesses are caused my inflammation and if you don’t address the source and just take a pill to mask the symptoms, you will never be cured. 

I’m so thankful for my journey, because it led me to @nutritionschool where I learned how to help others heal themselves and reach their health and wellness goals!
