Pumpkin Cookies
When the cold weather rolls in, it’s hard to resist the siren smell and taste of pumpkin spice.
This pumpkin cookies recipe is healthier than your standard cookie recipe — oats and almond flour replace white flour as the base, and there’s no oil!
These pumpkin cookies are also gluten-free, but if you have a gluten sensitivity/allergy, make sure the oats you buy are “certified gluten-free.”
Oats are often processed alongside gluten-containing grains, so brands will specifically label their oats if there’s no risk of cross-contamination.
