Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are my new favorite cookies. I can hear some of you asking “Could that be because of your pumpkin obsession?” Well, I must admit you know me well! I always have homemade pumpkin puree in the fridge when it’s fall in case I have a craving for something flavored with pumpkin.

Did I tell you that fall is my season? I’m so much in love with this time of year and you will always see me happy. No it doesn’t make me feel melancholic unlike most of my friends. I feel renewed and cheerful when I see the different tones of yellow, brown and red around me, with the smell of roasted pumpkin in my mind.

If you think fall is the season of heartwarming soups, then you should check out my Pumpkin Lentil Soup. It is on top of my family’s favorites when we are in this season and if we have pumpkin puree in hand. But I’m in baking mood these days, so although I made Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins yesterday, I just couldn’t resist baking these Uh-Mazing pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. The recipe is inspired by my friends’ all time favorite cookie recipe, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. These are chewy thanks to oatmeal and soft at the same time thanks to pumpkin puree inside. And they are loaded with chocolate chips. Who don’t love them in cookies?

You will be surprised but these pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are vegan. Vegan cookies can definitely taste scrumptious. Try and see it yourself. I bet you can’t stop yourself eating one or two even before they are baked. I love them when they rest overnight, they become even chewier then.

Haven’t you started baking yet? Run into the kitchen and start it with these vegan pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

Enjoy fall and pumpkin!
