Healthy Pumpkin Blossoms

Print Recipe

Healthy Pumpkin Blossoms are a wholesome twist on the classic peanut butter cookie! Soft, chewy pumpkin-spiced cookies made with oat flour and natural sweeteners, topped with a dark chocolate kiss for a festive fall treat that’s both nutritious and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/3 cup natural almond or peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • Dark chocolate kisses or chunks (about 20 pieces)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  • 3. Add oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  • 4. Scoop dough into small 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • 5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  • 6. Remove from oven and immediately press a dark chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
  • 7. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 8. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • For extra protein, you can add 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder and adjust texture with a splash of milk if needed.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate to keep these cookies vegan.
  • Chill dough for 20 minutes before baking for thicker, puffier cookies.
  • Perfect for fall dessert trays or healthy Halloween treats!
