Today I am sharing a quick bake pumpkin oatmeal cookies recipe. Many of you know that we started focusing on health and wellness (you can read all about the weight loss on our healthy living page) and last week I broke down and made something sweet. How can you not bake and eat sweets in the Fall?
I feel like I should be able to as a treat so I found a few recipes from my mom’s family reunion cookbook and combined 3 of them. I honestly wasn’t sure how they would come out but they actually were pretty good.
I shared this recipe over on the Homegoods blog last week and shared the entire Kitchen Island Fall Snack Station Monday of this week here on our blog.
If you didn’t see the post sharing how to create a fun kitchen island snack station, don’t miss it! It’s a great idea when hosting a group of kids or even adults.
One of the biggest things I have learned about a healthy balanced lifestyle is to substitute flour and sugar for coconut alternatives when possible. I also try to find recipes or experiment with no flour.

If you are looking for a very sweet pumpkin cookie, this cookie is not for you. BUT if you want something that is semi sweet and a healthy alternative for a full blown loaded with calorie cookie, you must try this recipe!

If you are looking for a really sweet cookie, this is probably not the recipe for you. These are great if you are a healthy eater but occasionally want something “semi” sweet as a treat. I suppose you could always add chocolate chips too! The pumpkin oatmeal cookies are so soft and moist and the coconut flour and sugar add a nice flavor. Since starting my healthy journey a few months ago, my taste buds have changed significantly and it’s crazy how cookies that I use to love, are too sweet now. Have a great weekend!

Hi Jessica; It still feels like summer here in Ohio. I LOVE fall and it just won’t show up. Of course, leaves are falling because of the shorter days but that is about it. I cannot thank you enough for this recipe. I am on a serious mission to get my blood sugars out of the 300 to 400 range. I have been hovering around 68 and 89 for the last 3 months. I ate a Godiva truffle and had some OJ one day and the reading was 75 the next day. Your recipe is something I will enjoy having with coffee in the morning. If I can’t have a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks then your cookies it will be. I even put pumpkin spice in my coffee grounds when brewing. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
You are welcome Jaunita!! Thank you for stopping by! Your sugar levels are in the 300-400 range? That is high!!
I’ve never tried coconut flour or brown sugar before! I’ll have to look for it the next time I go grocery shopping. I love anything pumpkin, so these cookies sound delicious!
