Ingredient List
- Quick Oats– If you don’t have quick oats you can blitz regular oats
- Almond Flour– The main flour base, lending moisture.
- Salt– balances the sweetness
- Baking Soda– be sure to remember these sound the same but are different
- Baking Powder
- Cinnamon
- Eggs– room temp eggs are best when baking
- Pumpkin– The star of the show, pumpkin, brings not only its characteristic earthy sweetness but also a boost of Vitamin A. Complemented by cinnamon and vanilla, it’s the taste of fall in every slice.
- Vanilla– always measure with your heart
- Coconut Oil– In the colder months your coconut oil may solidify in the pantry, just be sure to melt and cool before adding to the bowl
- Coconut Sugar– Coconut sugar provides a gentler, more complex sweetness than refined white sugar, and it’s lower on the glycemic index
- Chocolate Chips– Because, let’s be honest, everything is better with chocolate chips! They add pockets of gooey, decadent joy.
Pro Tip
- This recipe is forgiving! If you’re short on time (and dishes!), you can often combine all your dry ingredients first, then add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the ½ cup chocolate chips last. Just be careful not to overmix!
Frequently Asked Question
Can I use steel-cut oats instead of quick oats?
No, for this recipe, quick oats are recommended. Steel-cut oats won’t soften enough during the baking process and will result in a tough, grainy texture. Rolled oats could work in a pinch, but quick oats provide the best texture.
