  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 T pure maple syrup
  • 1 t. pure vanilla (optional)
  • 1 cup certified gluten-free oats
  • ¼ cup ground flax-seed (not whole seeds)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 ½ t. cinnamon
  • ¼ t. nutmeg
  • ¼ t. ground ginger
  • Pinch or more of ground cloves
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Optional additions: raisins, dried cranberries or cherries

    Instructions
     

    • Whisk the pumpkin and maple syrup in a medium bowl.
    • Add in all other ingredients, except the chocolate chips.
    • Mix to combine, using a fork or wooden spoon.
    • Once everything comes together in a ball, stir in the chocolate chips until distributed.
    • Add in other additions if desired.
    • Using a small spoon or scoop, scoop dough and roll into golf-sized balls. You can make them smaller for younger children.
