    It is pumpkin season y’all and I am super stoked about it and all the delicious pumpkin desserts this time of year! In fact I just went to Trader Joe’s and stocked up on 6 cans of organic pumpkin puree to make sure I am prepared for all the pumpkin baking that is about to happen!

    October is one of my favorite months. It is my hubby and my birthday month and there is a change it the air that presents a sense of energy change to the entire universe… usually with a cooler breeze. Only I am still waiting for that cooler breeze in California because it is very warm over here. That won’t stop me from making pumpkin fall weather goodies like these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!

    Ok, here is the secret to these awesome cookies… cinnamon and orange flavors melted with vanilla and warm chocolate!

    Lets dive into pumpkins for a moment, shall we? Pumpkin makes a great substitute for eggs in vegan recipes. Pumpkin is healthy! It is a nutrient dense squash packed with fiber, and in-fact 1 cup of pumpkin has only 50 calories and 3 grams of fiber! Since pumpkin is low in calories and rich in fiber it is helpful in reducing weight loss because it fills you up for hours preventing overeating (can we get an Amen to that!). Pumpkin is also packed with potassium, iron and antioxidant beta-carotene, which may help prevent cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.

    Convinced yet to eat everything made with pumpkin?

    Last year I made these easy pumpkin cookies with white chocolate chips and they were a big hit with friends and family! This year I have revamped my pumpkin cookies to be fluffy, healthy, metabolism-boosting and even more amazing! Both pumpkin cookies are delicious but one version is slightly more dense and these gluten-free pumpkin cookies are fluffy!

    My first batch of these cookies was made just scooping the dough onto the baking pan freshly after it was mixed. It presented a fluffy cookie in an almost perfect ball shape. Delicious, but I like certain cookies round and more flat and these ones need that consistency. So I made the second round rolled of these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies rolled into a log, wrapped and refrigerated then sliced it into ½ inch slices before baking.

    It is a longer process but visually makes these cookies evenly fluffy, evenly baked and evenly the perfect savory taste all around!

    My two little C’s just love these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies after school and after dinner. (sorry about my son’s dirt-friendly fingernails after school in this picture!)

    The other night we had our weekly “guys night” with the uncles over for dinner. I made a delicious crust-less quiche with by purring together eggs, kale, onion, garlic and basil served with a side of sauteed rosemary potatoes, caramelized onions and peppers. For dessert we enjoyed these orange, cinnamon and vanilla spiced pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Little C would not finish his dinner so the way I convinced him was that there are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies afterwards! That pretty much sealed the deal because he ate his green eggs right up with zero questions except, “Momma, I all done, may I please have my cookie now?”

    Like I said, the whole batch of cookies was devoured within one evening and breakfast the next morning! Don’t give me that look- these are healthy enough for breakfast too. Sneakily I even like to enjoy these cookies with a delicious cup of coffee or matcha green tea. The ingredients are super healthy and coconut oil helps boost the metabolism which is pretty energizing right away in the morning!

    It is a shame we ate the whole batch of cookies in a day because after writing this post I am drooling for another bite! Time to make the dough and another batch of cookies!
