Double Chocolate Pumpkin Cookie Bites
These goodies are NOT to be missed!
I love pumpkin, all year long, and especially in the fall. I was experimenting with this recipe on a rainy yucky day and it turned out perfectly! Check these out.
These cookie bites could likely be made into flat cookies, but I like the fluffiness of them in “bite” form, so I left them this way. You could also add a number of different ingredients too- like raisins, coconut chips, pistachios, extra sugar (I added none), and more.
Not only are these cookie bites yummy, but they’re also good for you as well- because they’re loaded with fiber, healthy fat and gut-healthy probiotics.
For the lowest sugar version (this version), make sure you use dates as the only sweetener.
Enjoy these yummy bites! They’re paleo friendly and vegan.

- 3 heaping tablespoons unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup Tigernut flour

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spray your baking sheet with avocado or coconut oil- set aside.
- Combine all ingredients in the blender.
- Blend on low/medium for about 1 minute or until the dough is homogenous (or mostly)- it’ll be a thicker, heavier dough.
