Calories: 301kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons warm plant milk

- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill 1 for 1 gluten free flour I have not tried this recipe with any other GF flour or combination of flours.
Instructions
- Combine the flax meal and warm plant milk together and allow to thicken.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the sugars, spread and flax meal mixture together then slowly add in the rest of the ingredients until you have thick and smooth cookie dough.
- Spoon similarly sized blobs of dough onto parchment paper a couple inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes and then cool completely on racks.
- Enjoy the same day or freeze until ready to enjoy.
