Ingredients
1 TBSP ground flax
3 TBSP water
2 cups almond meal
1/3 cup pureed pumpkin
1/8 cup of pure maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flax and water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. Add almond meal, pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon, and baking soda to a small mixing bowl or your food processor.
Add flax/water mixture. Mix until ingredients form a soft dough.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Add a large spoonful, about 2 tbsp. of mixture, to baking sheet. (You may need to smash them down a bit so they cook uniformly.)
Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
Note: I topped them with a little almond butter to add some protein and fat. You can use any nut butter. You can also add nutmeg and ginger.
