Healthy Alternatives

The recipe below is a bit different than your standard fall or Thanksgiving dessert but surprisingly enough, whenever I make it and share it with friends or co-workers, the batch is completely devoured within one day!  And that’s okay because this is a much healthier alternative to other baked treats.

What I love about recipes like this one, you have options for which ingredients to use that still fall under the category gluten-free, as well as, vegan.

So whether or not you prefer almond butter or peanut butter, you have options.

Please leave comments and share recipes that you like, with me – I would gladly appreciate it!

Cynthia’s Flourless Pumpkin Cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups Nut Butter of your choice (I prefer almond butter, but cashew or peanut work the same)

1 cup Pumpkin Puree

1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup

2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Blend all above ingredients in a medium sized bowl except for the chocolate chips and mix well.

Then add your chocolate chips and fold into mixture.

Spoon out onto baking sheet.  Bake for approximately 12 minutes then let cool.
