    gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in a dish

    PUMPKIN. CHOCOLATE. CHIP. COOKIES. and yes, they are as amazing and delicious as you think they will be! they're easy to make and the perfect cookie to add to any dessert table.

    or to just enjoy in your pj's on a friday night... (any night of the week is acceptable in my opinion)

    my two favorite parts of these cookies are the flavor and texture. the flavor gives a spiced, molasses-like flavor. which is perfect for this time of year!

    next, is the texture. the outside of the cookie has the perfect crisp edge. however, the middle is soft and chewy. the perfect texture that you're looking for in a cookie.

    now, let's talk ingredients. keep reading to find out what you need to make these cookies!

    main ingredients

    • salted butter
    • dark brown sugar
    • pumpkin puree, drained (what does this mean, keep reading below!)
    • egg
    • gluten free flour
    • pumpkin pie spice
    • cinnamon
    • nutmeg
    • baking powder
    • dark chocolate chips
    • flaky sea salt

    how do you drain pumpkin puree?

    1. measure out the pumpkin puree per the recipe instructions
    2. use 2-4 paper towels folded into one
    3. add the pumpkin into the center of the paper towel and fold the excess around it
    4. squeeze until all of the water has been drained out of the pumpkin puree
    5. fold the pumpkin puree into the batter when called for

    let's chat about minerva dairy

    who's minerva dairy and what makes them so special? minerva dairy is 125 years old at the time this recipe was developed and has gone through 4 generations of owners (and currently run by the 5th generation)!

    these people live, eat and breathe all things BUTTER. which explains why the quality and flavor of their products are so good. while they've adapted with the times, the quality of their products has never been sacrificed.

    the quality of their products are top notch, with the cows eating fresh, pasture grass giving the butter that deep yellow color.

    now, let's chat about flavors! of course they have the classic salted and unsalted butter which is used in this recipe. however, they also have tons of different flavored butters for you to enjoy. make sure to check out all of their products for your butter needs!

    frequently asked questions

    do i have to use gluten free flour?

    nope! you can substitute for regular all purpose flour at a 1:1 ratio

    will light brown sugar work instead of dark brown sugar?

    you could use light brown sugar but it will impact the final cookie result. the cookies will be slightly less chewy so i highly recommend sticking with dark brown sugar.

    can i make this recipe vegan?

    you can use vegan butter or flax eggs in this recipe. however, expect for the final result to be different. the cookies will still be delicious!

    can i freeze the cookie dough batter to make later?

    yes! scoop the balls into their cookie size and freeze for up to 3 months.

    how do i store these cookies?

    store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tart i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tarts growing up, have you?

let me introduce you to my adult version of this childhood favorite. i use lantanafoods Dark Chocolate Hummus as the filling and it was a dream come true 🍫 it adds just the right amount of sweetness, taking me right back to my childhood but without the sugar hangover 🤪

HOW TO MAKE ⬇️ 
1. cut two rectangles out of pre-made pie dough
2. add about 2 tbsp of hummus in the center and spread it out a little without going to the edges
3. press along the four sides with a fork
4. bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden and fully baked through
5. cool slightly and enjoy!

if you haven’t, give it a try! it makes the egg texture so light and fluffy when you bite into it. it’s a fun way to switch up your avocado toast for breaky 🍳🥑🍞

    i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. day.

not only because its delicious but this protein chocolate cake is good for me too! there is no added flour, just protein powder combined with egg and banana to make the base. 

i used safeandfair chocolate protein powder (that’s also kid friendly) because it adds such a delicious flavor while also sneaking in some veggies! the protein powder has a nice texture, giving you a cake that’s moist and fluffy.
