It always a treat finding grain free baked goods that contain no eggs. It doesn’t happen a lot! My husband and I try and limit our grains, but our little guy can’t have any nuts or eggs…so any baked good I make for us is almost never OK for him. I love how this recipe is a snap to throw together and easily memorized. With so little sweetener, and all the other wholesome ingredients…this is a treat that doesn’t carry a whole ton of guilt.
If you are more of a chocolate chip kind of person, leave off the coating and mix in a handful of chips!
Subtly orange-hued, ultra-moist, and delicately sweet, these cookies are fall treat begging to be made.
These get even more soft as they sit for a day. Pumpkin and honey (they are humectants) will both do that to baked goods! I like to store mine in the freezer, but on the counter for a few days works too!
GAPS diet? Omit use only honey, and omit the palm sugar in the coating! Also, leave the psyllium husks out.
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup fresh pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons honey or coconut nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Optional: 1 tablespoon psyllium husks (adds a firmer texture)
- 2 tablespoons palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, salt, and soda.
- In a liquid measuring cup, mix the wet ingredients through the psyllium husks well (make sure your pumpkin in room temp so the coconut oil does not harden!)
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mix and blend with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be stubborn, work it to moisten everything well.
- Roll the batter into 14-16 cookies, roughly golf ball size.
- Mix your cinnamon sugar coating in a small bowl (palm sugar and remaining cinnamon).
- Roll each ball into the mixture, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Press down slightly with the palm of your hand: these cookies don’t move much!
- Bake for 10-13 minutes until bottoms are golden.
- Cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes, remove and store in an airtight container.

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
Can’t wait to try these, they look amazing! I just made my first grain AND egg free recipe last week… gingersnap cookies
I’m pinning these and putting these on my list!
Wow how wonderful. I’ve bookmarked these to try this week. We love having a treat around that we can keep in the freezer for easy “almost guilt-free” treats.
Yes ALMOST France!!
Dear Tessa,
I love you.
Love,
Dana
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!
You’re funny Dana! Now go make some!
Looking forward to trying these out!
These look so yummy! I’d love for you to share your recipe on my new blog hop, {Wheat-Free Wednesday}! Hope to see you there!

These look fantastic! I saw your post while linking-up at Wheat-Free Wednesday and had to check out the recipe!
I’ll adjust these a tad for our GAPS diet and use some of the pumpkin we just cooked. Yum!
Great Justyn, come back and share your tweaks!!
Hahaha, each week I find myself clicking on your cookies! These look and sound fantastic! I have been meaning to buy some coconut nectar, so this gives me the perfect excuse!
Paleo AND vegan? That’s awesome!
I like this recipe so much that I will be featuring it this week on Gluten-Free Monday at OneCreativeMommy.com. Please stop by and grab a featured button if you’d like. I hope you’ll be back to link up again on Monday.
Snickerdoodles just say fall to me! It’s so nice to see a special diet and allergy friendly recipe that looks so delicious!
Thank you for your submission on Nourishing Treasures’ Make Your Own! Monday link-up.
Check back tomorrow when the new link-up is running to see if you were one of the top 3 featured posts!
Yum – perfect that they are too! My son would love these. As is custom for your recipes, these look delicious. Looks like I may have to get some more pumpkin puree after all! Thanks for sharing. (Also hope you don’t mind but you’re on my blog spotlight list.) Have a great week!
I meant perfect they are VEGAN too!
Thanks Devin1
I was out of the loop and missed these last week! WOW! I love your ingredients and the name. Perfect for this time of the year. (And I’m totally throwing in a handful of chocolate chips!)
Yes Heather…chocolate chips are always a good addition!!
Tessa, these cookies look great. I love that they are grain and refined sugar free! Thanks for sharing them at Gluten-Free Wednesdays.
Snicker doodles are my favorite. Can’t wait to try these. Your food is always so beautiful, too!
Thanks for linking up to Thank Your Body Thursday!

Since we can’t have almond flour, do you think I could sub in all purpose GF flour? Got this tweeted and pinned!
Hi Tessa,
I just noticed that this is linked on GAPS Friendly Fridays #17 – but there are a couple small issues. I’d like to leave it up if you can make a couple small notes on it:
1. the optional psyllium husk would not be GAPS legal
2. choose the honey for GAPS
3. Skip the palm sugar for GAPS
Thanks!
These look great, Tessa! Guess what I’ll be baking tomorrow
These are fabulous! I made these for my Super Bowl treat, and they were perfect! Will definitely make again!
Great Diana, glad you enjoyed them and will make them again!!
Thank you for this recipe – absolutely awesome cookies! I baked them for my paleo co-workers – I am sure others will join in.
A+
Thanks Thea for letting me know, sure love these cookies too!
