These soft & chewy Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies taste like fall in a cookie. Made in one bowl with gluten-free oat flour, pumpkin puree & maple syrup.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the flax egg by mixing together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let it gel for 5-10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, flax egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
Stir in the oat flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Mix until a dough forms, then use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This is a crucial step, since the cookies are made with almond flour, they need to set properly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (if desired). Enjoy!
