Spicy Pumpkin Maple Cookies (30 Calories Each!)



If you can't tell by now, I really like spicy food - and my Dad likes it even more than I do. I used to make Molasses Cookies with chili flakes in them that he really liked - so I thought I would try to make a skinny gluten free version of them.

He didn't think these were quite spicy enough - but for normal people I think they will definitely be spicy enough so be careful with the chili flakes!

This recipe only made 5 cookies but you could easily double or triple it!

These cookies are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, and only 30 calories each! You could eat all five for about the same number of calories as a typical cookie!



Recipe: Makes 5 Cookies
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree - 40 calories
1/4 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup - 20 calories
1/4 cup Oat Flour - 90 calories
1 tablespoon Stevia
2 teaspoons Red Chili Flakes (or to taste)        
= 150 calories in whole recipe - makes 5 cookies, 30 calories per cookie


1. Mix together all ingredients
2. Chill the dough in the fridge for 1 hour
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
4. Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto parchment paper lined baking sheet - this is a very sticky batter but it doesn't spread much while baking so smooth out the cookies as best you can by hand before baking
5. Bake about 13-15 minutes
6. Allow cookies to cool before removing from parchment paper so they don't fall apart - they are very soft!
7. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container
