Ingredients

  • 2 cup quick oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium banana mashed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper, tin foil or a silicone baking sheet. Alternatively, you can grease it with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, banana, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and mix well. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt and stir together.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 2 tbsp of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to evenly distribute the cookies apart. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes until removing from the tray. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions

  • Rolled oats
    • You can use these instead of quick oats if this is more accessible to you.
  • Pumpkin puree
    • Instead of banana, you can opt for additional pumpkin puree. However, the final cookie may not be as sweet. 
  • Other types of brown sugar
    • Any kind of brown sugar will work in this recipe.
  • Pumpkin pie spice
    • This can be used in place of the cinnamon. There are some additional seasonings in pumpkin pie spice like ginger and allspice that will add extra flavour and dimension to the cookies.
  • Milk chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips
    • Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use milk or dark chocolate chips. You could also use mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks!
