These flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are healthier, gluten free, crisp on the outside, soft inside, delicious and super easy to make! This is my favourite cookies for fall.
I would like to start this post by apologizing for being a little bit absent on my blog recently. These past two weeks I’ve been having severe lower back pain and because of this I took a break from work to try to get better. I’ve been doing lots of exercises to treat this pain and that’s why I’ve been doing better these days. I am now doing yoga 7 days of the week and swimming too, which has been very helpful. I know it is normal to have lower back pain during pregnancy, but since I’ve already had serious problems with my back before (one day I’ll write a post talking more about this problem that I have in my spine) the lower back pain during my pregnancy has been very aggressive. I am still exercising every day and as a result I got better quickly.
I am doing well and my baby is growing healthy every day. I didn’t share with you yet, but we did the ultrasound for the 20 weeks and of course we asked to know the gender of the baby. I was dying to know but as I said before I knew I was going to have a baby boy and I was right. We are expecting a little baby boy and I couldn’t be happier. I always wanted to have a boy and now I will be into the world of monsters, superheroes, dinosaurs and cars hahahha… So awesome! I can’t wait to have my baby in my arms. I am more and more exciting everyday. I already can feel him moving and it is the most wonderful and weird feeling you can have. We are also preparing his little nursery. I am so lucky that my husband is such a handyman and knows how to do everything. In a couple weeks we are going to paint the room and after that start to decorate. How exciting!! That is the best part.
Talking about best part, I have to say that these cookies are the best fall cookies I’ve ever made. I have to be honest though I am not a huge fan of pumpkin. I know I must have some kind of palate problem. I mean who doesn’t like pumpkins?!! And it is also weird because my family loves pumpkins especially my mom who can eat it even for breakfast (I am not even kidding… hahahahah).

But since all my food bloggers friends are baking fall recipes they all inspired me to make these cookies. I was surprised how they are tasty, light, crispy from the outside and very soft inside. Since I love crunchy cookies I always bake my cookies a little bit more approximately 10 minutes instead of 8 minutes. But if you like them chewier you should bake them for only 8 minutes.

As I am crazy for dark chocolate I put lots of chocolate chips in there, which made these pumpkin cookies even better. I didn’t feel guilty eating them because actually they are healthier than other recipes since they don’t have contain any butter, oil or flour. It is gluten free and delicious!!!

- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup oat flour oats that have been blended
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips

So glad to hear that you’re doing better, Olivia! How exciting that you’re going to be having a little boy! Congrats again, friend! 🙂 And these cookies? I am totally drooling over all the chocolate + pumpkin goodness you loaded them up with—I’ll take 5!

Natalie @ Tastes Lovely says
Congrats on having a boy! Such great news! We were so excited to learn we were having a boy too. I secretly really wanted our first born to be a boy, but of course would have been happy with either as long as baby is healthy. But having it be a boy made it even more exciting! My 2 pregnant girlfriends are having boys too. Feel like it’s the time for boys! Haha! Sorry for you back pain, that’s no fun. Hope yoga and swimming helps. These cookies sound delicious!

A boy! Yay! My first born was a boy and that mother-son bond is so special. 🙂
So sorry you have been having such a hard time with your back!
Love all the chocolate chips in these cookies.

Hi Olivia !
I have finally found someone whos recipes are amazing ! I tried your chimichuri brocoli shrimp and your zucchini lasagna. And gosh ! So good! My question for this recipe is that for halloween i usually buy pumpkins and never do anything with it. But this recipe inspired me. What would you do to convert a real pumpkin into store bought canned pumkin ? Just grind and spice ? Thanks !
Olivia says
I have this homemade pumpkin puree recipe here that I think you will love it, because it’s even better than store bought canned pumpkin.
