Thanks for this recipe, I will try it and OMIT the honey. Using honey will NOT make them VEGAN. Also, I will be using pumpkin puree not canned which if already premade with sugar may not be vegan as well. As regular sugar is put thru bone char.

My “cookie” recipes really aren’t for everyone so it may not be anything you did wrong. I always try my best to warn people in the intro that they are non-traditional.

Sorry they didn’t turn out for you!

I have tried several recipes off your site and they have all been really good, however this one was a total miss. NOT good at all. I don’t know if I did something wrong or what the issue was (I’m a nazi about following directions, so I don’t think I did). Maybe next time!

Yup! Just use 20g. It’s why I give the weight for certain things. Hope you like them!

Roni- The measurement for the flax seeds is before you grind them, so I was wondering if I used the flax I have that is already ground would i go with the overall weight? This looks awesome. I’m trying to get away from the store bought breakfast bars and such and this looks like it’ll work!

I’m going to a pumpkin party this weekend and have to feed a bunch of hungry, healthy conscious triathletes. I think this might be just the dish. Looking forward to giving it a shot, thanks Roni!

AWESOME! Glad you like them.. .yeah.. maybe we should call them pumpkin tea cakes or something?!? Either way.. they are tasty! Such a good way to get good stuff in the little ones. :)

I made these today, and lovvvve them! The 2 yr old definitely tried eating the batter, and also made a mess but it was lots of fun! The molasses and spices give them excellent flavor, while the 3 different types of sugar make it most definitely NOT need anything else sweet. They don’t rise like cookies, but rather taste like a cake or bread. They are very yummy!

These look so yummy! Where do you find whole wheat white flour? I looked at Wal-Mart and Whole Foods this weekend and couldn’t find it at either place.

I was thinking the same thing.. about the applesauce but since the original recipe called for oil I thought, why not? :)

I stocked up on pumpkin last grocery trip.. loving having it in the pantry!

I’m a fan of hiding protein powder in sweet baked dishes. Also, with pumpkin you probably don’t also need applesauce – either one works as a fat replacement for baking. I’m also a fan of adding cocoa powder to anything like this. I really need to keep a cache of canned pumpkin – haven’t seen it on the october sales yet.

I’m impressed – these actually look really good! Now all you have to do is make them gluten free :)

ohhh Did NOT know that!! Agave would be fine.. I only did it to add a touch more sweetness since I cut the sugar almost down to nothing.

LOVE how many cookies this makes! They look fantastic and I need to make them soon.
But, (and you may already know this) most vegans don’t eat honey. I do because there are beehives on my parent’s land and they are happy bees that make wonderful honey

Qiting – In this recipe I used applesauce instead. I never had the original cookies so I don’t know how it effected them at all. In some recipes I’m going to say it’s probably not replaceable, especially in traditional baked goods and pastries but in heartier items (muffins, oatmeal cookies, breads) I’ve never had a problem using the applesauce trick.

Hi! I’m a vivid reader of your site! Just wanted to ask how do you remove the oil without compromising on flavour? and what do you replace it? I’ve tried replacing oil in pastries and cookies with applesauce and even yoghurt but it never works!Thanks in advance! :D

Jules – I have already severely reduced the sugar (original recipe called for over a cup) and added the honey to help. They cookies were just sweet enough for us. You could try to cut it out completely and just up the honey or replace with any of your sweet substitutes but I’m not sure how they would come out. I’m going to guess it will be fine.

I love pumpkin anything…and 5 cookies for 3 points sounds like a worthy investment :D Can’t wait to try them…could agave syrup be subbed for the sugar or would less sugar be ok? Or brown sugar?…
