- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (for sweetening)

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey). Mix until smooth.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you'd like to add chocolate chips or walnuts, fold them in now.

Scoop the Cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will remain soft as they cool.
