WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Here’s what you’ll need to make these pumpkin banana cookies:

Ingredients to make pumpkin banana cookies. See recipe card for detailed ingredient quantities.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Be sure to get the unsweetened variety, not the ones that are marked pumpkin pie filling.
  • Banana: The main source of sweetness for these cookies. Try to use a banana that is very ripe with several brown spots. The riper the banana, the sweeter the cookies
  • Almond Flour: The base of the cookies to help them hold their shape. I always use the Kirkland brand almond flour from Costco.
  • Pumpkin Spice: Warm spices combination for added flavor.

PROCESS

  1. Mash banana with a fork until smooth. 
  2. Add in the pumpkin puree and mix well.
  3. Add in almond flour and cinnamon and mix until combined.
  4. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls and flatten. 
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag with parchment paper-lined between each cookie to prevent sticking for up to 2 months.

SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Banana: The banana may be replaced with equal parts pumpkin puree. If omitting banana, add in 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup to sweeten the cookies.
  • Almond flour: The almond flour may be replaced with unsweetened desiccated coconut.

RECIPE NOTES

  • Make sure to flatten and shape the cookies beforehand because they will not change shape while baking.
  • If you want your cookies to have a smoother texture with no lumps, puree the banana and pumpkin in a blender first and then stir in the almond flour.
  • I like to use very ripe bananas with several brown spots. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the cookies.
  • If your mixture is too wet to form into balls, stir in a little more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Stir in a few chocolate chips into the batter for an extra treat!

    1. I haven’t tried making them with all-purpose flour but I think that they would be a bit dry without any added butter. You can try replacing it with rolled oats!
