  • 2 tsp coconut oil or vegan butter (optional)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 tsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ginger)

To Coat

  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar

Method

  1. Heat pumpkin puree, maple syrup, oil, spices and salt in a skillet at medium heat. Mix well and cook to thicken slightly,3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Cool the mixture, add 1 cup flour and mix in. You will have to press and knead the flour in. Add more flour if needed to make a soft smooth dough. (Use any flour that you normally use to make cookie dough).Taste and add some sugar if needed.
  3. Make balls out of the dough. In a bowl, mix in sugar and cinnamon. Roll balls to coat and serve.
