This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free, and can easily be made sugar free or high protein as well.

How do I make this single serve pumpkin cookie sugar free?
To keep this recipe sugar free, simply use a sugar free granulated sweetener in the place of the coconut sugar (like monk fruit). Or simply use vanilla protein powder instead (see below). If you want to add chocolate chips to the cookie, use a sugar free chocolate chip brand like Lily’s stevia sweetened chocolate chips.
How do I make this single serve pumpkin cookie higher in protein?
To make this cookie higher in protein, simply replace the coconut sugar with 1 TBS vanilla protein powder. I recommend using Truvani plant based vanilla protein powder. It’s made with only 5 real ingredients and is so delicious!
Help, I don’t have oat flour!
No oat flour? No problem. You can easily make your own at home! To make homemade oat flour simply blend rolled/old fashioned oats in a high speed blender (or process in a food processor). Blend/process until a flour consistency is reached! You can check out a quick video of how I make homemade oat flour here.
