If you've been reading our blog for awhile now, you know about our regular 2 ingredient cookie. I created this recipe right after that one – but I had to wait until it was PUMPKIN season to share it!!
Last Saturday was the first day of autumn. So FINALLY, I can present you with:
The Autumn 2 Ingredient Cookie (plus the mix-ins of your choice!)
This recipe is pretty much exactly like the other 2 ingredient cookie. Except instead of bananas, you use PUMPKIN! yum x 1000000000. (unless you are one of those weirdos who hates pumpkin. which is fine, i guess. except that then you’ll HATE these! they scream pumpkin!)
Ingredients:
1 cup quick oats
1 cup pure pumpkin
Plus whatever sounds yummy to you! (or nothing!) We love:
-a handful of chocolate chips
-crushed walnut pieces
-lots of PUMPKIN PIE SPICE! (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, etc.)
Equal parts pumpkin and quick oats.
& mix it all up… with your mix-ins :)
Make cookie sized amounts onto a GREASED cookie sheet. (you’ll hate yourself later if you forget to grease it. Oatmeal is like glue!)
These puppies WILL NOT expand – so you can stick ‘em pretty close together if you want.
then, cook for 12ish minutes at 350 degrees. and DEVOUR!
Ours made 14 “cookies”, which will all be gone today. Which is ok, because these are healthy!
There ya have it. The perfect, healthy autumn cookie.
When you say quick oats, are you talking about the regular kind that comes in the cylindrical package? Or the super-quick kind that comes in little paper envelopes and only need to be stirred up with hot water?
shotgun adventures – not not not the paper little envelopes kind. there’s two types of oats that come in the cylindrical package – old fashioned oats http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LKUZOU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000LKUZOU&linkCode=as2&tag=thbuba-20 – and quick oats – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LKYRVC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000LKYRVC&linkCode=as2&tag=thbuba-20
hope that helps!
I don’t see what could be easier! The 1 ingredient cookie? I challenge anyone to come up with that one! Thanks!
Thank you!
Okay,lovin’ your blog…gotta try this too:)
I am totally making this after work tonight! Hooray for fall and pumpkiny baked goods!
Ok – I just made these and they are yummy! I added chocolate chips (because I love the pumpkin-chocolate combo) and a little ginger and cinnamon. I think my next batch, I will make sure the cookies are smaller and thinner – they were a little too chewy (but still good!). Definitely need a glass of milk with them! Thanks for the recipe!
Yum! So excited to make these! My daughter’s preschool class has children with both gluten and dairy allergies so these will be perfect for snacks!
Love, love, love the blog!
And these cookies look so delicious.. Can’t decide whether to make the ones with pumpkin or bananas? Well, just have to make both :-)
Do you know the nutrition/calories per cookie?
Can I use anything other than pumpkin ???
I made these with applesauce instead of bananas (allergic to them) and they were great. Have the pumpkin version cooking now. Thanks!
This is gonna be my go to cookie recipe because my husband needs good snacks. and no added sweetner would be good for his diabetes.
Thanks for sharing your recipes! I pinned this one, plus your other two ingredient cookie recipe. Can’t wait to try the banana one!
Best,
Gloria
These recipes sound so good. I’m diabetic and good, healthy cookies are hard to find. I just bought a silk mat (or pad). Something you use to bake on and is not supposed to stick. I was wondering if I used that could the greasing of the pan be eliminated.
LOVE this! I am SOOOO with you on hating “3 ingredient recipes” when one of the items is a boxed mix or a frozen entree. UGH! Thanks so much for these HONEST TRULY “2 ingredient” recipes! Wonderful! ! ! ! !
I tried this recipe. It was like baked oatmeal. Is that how the texture is supposed to be like?
Two words: PARCHMENT. PAPER. !!!! No need to grease!
I am going to try these with sweet potatoes/yams (a little less oats and maybe a few drops of water). Not the canned version. I will bake mine…one for dinner and 1 (or 2 depending on size) for cookies. I’ll let you know! BTW, loved the banana version!!! Such a great cookie that with a little imagination can go anywhere!!!
tried crushed pineapple and coconut. . .with pecan and choc versions! TOOOOO yummy! (My family isn’t into cooked bananas or pumpkin, so I decided to get creative. I think this can be expanded into almost any direction. Thanks for the basic idea!
What a great idea–fast, healthy, tasty–will try!
Thanks for this. Made them for my baby, who wants to feed himself but is too little to use a spoon. It’s like his cereal but something he can do. No mix ins for him of course.
Tried these today… Wasn’t as good as I thought. I added nuts and SF chocolate chips..bummer…they were bland. I’ll try the banana ones next.
