Why I love these easy no-bake pumpkin cookies

While the rest of the country is starting to experience Fall like temperatures and enjoying all things pumpkin spice, we’re still hitting 90+ degree days down here in Texas. So the best way to still enjoy those fall flavors is to make pumpkin no bake cookies! They’re super simple and don’t involve heating up my kitchen any more!

How to get no-bake cookies to harden

The best way to get no bake cookies to harden is to stick them in the refrigerator. Some recipes may harden on their own, but most need to be chilled. These gluten free no bake cookies will harden when you refrigerate them.

How to make no-bake cookies from scratch

To make no bake cookies from scratch, you need a wet base (we use pumpkin puree, nut butter, and maple syrup for these low sugar no bake cookies), and a dry mix in to absorb the liquid (this recipe uses coconut flour, but another common no bake cookie liquid absorber is oats).

How to make pumpkin no bake cookies

First, you want to have all of your ingredients out and ready to go. Here’s the equipment you’ll need for pumpkin no bake cookies:

  • A large bowl
  • Microwave (possibly)
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spoon or spatula
  • Storage container
  • Fork

Combine your nut butter (I prefer to use almond butter in this recipe), maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk them together thoroughly to combine. It will be very thick so you may have to work those muscles to mix it together. If your almond butter is too thick, microwave it before mixing.

Add in your coconut flour and cinnamon and mix to combine with your rubber spoon or spatula until a thick dough (that you can shape into balls) forms. If the dough is too thin, add more coconut flour 1 Tbsp at a time. 

Carefully shape the dough into about 16 balls and press each ball flat with a fork or with your hand so they make nice little round cookies. Arrange the cookies in a single layer and freeze before enjoying. You can store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. (You’ll want to let them thaw for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.)
