How to make these gluten-free pumpkin spice cookies

Start by melting your coconut oil in a saucepan (or in the microwave) and stir in the maple syrup, sunflower seed butter, and pumpkin puree. Mix well until the batter is nice and smooth.

Remove from the heat and stir in the spices, salt and vanilla extract and everything gets mixed well.

Add the gluten-free oats and give it all a good mix to incorporate the pumpkin mixture throughout the oats. The mixture will be quite stiff.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then use a small cookie scoop to portion out the cookies onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

The recipe makes 30 cookies in a flash. Place the cookie sheet in the fridge to allow the cookies to set.

That’s all there is to these no-bake pumpkin spice cookies.
