1-1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/8 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp salt ( I use sea salt)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat a griddle pan on your stovetop over medium heat.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, syrup pumpkin puree, eggs and vanilla.

4. Drizzle in the oil as you continue to whisk.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 14th, 2015 | Posted by Milana in Dessert | Thanksgiving - (0 Comments)

  
Yields: 33 cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup sugar of choice

1/4 cup avocado oil

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large egg

2 cups white whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon 1% milk or almond milk

1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips (I did half mini semi sweet chocolate chips and half dark chocolate chunks)

INGREDIENTS:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper sheets (or lightly grease the cookie sheet with cooking spray if you don’t have parchment paper).
In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment combine pumpkin, sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla and egg. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another small bowl, dissolve the baking soda with the milk. Add both the dry flour mixture and the wet baking soda mixture to the pumpkin mixture. Mix well until incorporated. 

Add in the chocolate chips and stir until evenly combined.

Using a small cookie scoop(medium scoop is equal to 1 tablespoon), drop mounds of the cookie dough on the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for slightly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

They’re very moist and chewy in texture. Just the perfect little morsels of yumminess! Give this recipe a try today! Be sure to tag me in your posts and let me know what you think of the recipe. Happy Baking!

INGREDIENTS:

Yeild: about 30 mini muffins

Serving size: 1 muffin

-1 cup pumpkin puree (I use organic)
-1/2 cup pure maple syrup

-2 Large eggs

-1 Tbsp vanilla extract
-3 Tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)

-cooking spray for muffin tins (I use TJ’s Coconut Oil Spray)

-24 mini muffin tin 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and then grease with cooking spray or line a muffin tin for first 24 muffins. You will need to reuse the tin again for remaining batter. 

Place the oats in the food processor and blend for about 30 seconds, or until you get smaller crumbs of the oats to resemble whole wheat flour. Next, add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips. Blend until smooth and combined. Fold in your chocolate chips. 

Using a small cookie scoop or 1 Tbsp measuring spoonful fill muffin tin.  Top with more chocolate chips. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until light golden brown. Insert tester until it comes out clean. Let cool 10 min before transferring onto cooling rack. Enjoy.
