Want cookies without the sugar crash? Try this healthier version of a pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! These snacks are made with whole wheat flour and far less butter and sugar than your average cookie. Dark chocolate chips and rolled oats are folded in to complete this chewy delight!
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add whole wheat flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a medium mixing bowl, add canned pumpkin, unsalted butter, milk, egg and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and use a large rubber spatula to mix until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and dark chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, add cookie dough to your prepared baking sheet. The mixture should make about 20 cookies. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, until just starting to brown on the outsides and bottom of cookies.
Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy!
Notes
Add raisins or dried cranberries for an extra fall touch!
