Almond Flour Pumpkin Cookies

Fall is around the corner, and if you are after a healthy gluten-free pumpkin cookie recipe that bursts with pumpkin pie spices flavors, these melt-in-your-mouth almond pumpkin cookies are for you. I love making quick and easy cookies, like my Banana Bread Cookies, 2-Ingredient Almond Flour Banana Cookies, or Coconut Banana Cookies. My quick and easy recipes are all easy and healthy, they are my favorite snacks. Almond flour is the best to create soft, moist cookies that are also high in healthy fats and proteins.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to bake a batch of these almond flour pumpkin cookies are a few wholesome ingredients:

Pumpkin Puree – I like to use canned pumpkin puree. It’s a pure pumpkin puree made with a blend of pumpkins and 100% organic. There’s no added oil or sugar in canned pumpkin puree. Don’t use canned pumpkin pie filling! You can, of course use my homemade pumpkin puree recipe if preferred. Almond Flour – I recommend ultra-fine almond flour with a light golden white color. Almond meal also works but has a coarser texture and darker color, changing the cookies’ texture. Often, almond meal add a gritty texture to cookies. With almond flour, you can also make my Almond Flour Chocolate Chips Cookies. Melted Coconut Oil, light olive oil, or avocado oil. Coconut Sugar or brown sugar, both work fine. Vanilla Extract for added taste. Pumpkin Pie Spice – to boost the pumpkin flavor. You can make your own by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Vanilla Extract – Use a natural extract for best flavors.

Variations

If you want to add a little kick to these gluten-free pumpkin cookies, try the option below.

Stir in 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips in the batter. Serve with a drizzle of my vegan royal icing.

Allergy Swaps

Below are some options to make these cookies if you have some food allergies.

Nut-Free – You can replace the almond flour with the same amount of sesame flour or sunflower seed flour. Low-Carb – Almond flour is a low-carb flour. To cut down the carbs, swap the sugar for a sugar-free granulated sweetener like brown erythritol monk fruit blend. Swap maple syrup for sugar-free monk fruit syrup.
