Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
I might as well rename the blog The Colorful Pumpkin Spice Kitchen until spring.
After sharing the recipe for (and drinking quite a few) Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I decided to come up a sweet treat to go along with them.
Today’s Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies are the epitome of a cozy, chilly weather, fall dessert. The ingredients are super simple and the recipe is so easy that I was able to whip up a batch in the very short downtime between baby girl’s nap, nurse, poop, repeat cycle*.
They’re perfect on their own, with this or this latte, or served warm with almond milk!

*For nursing mamas- oats and flax are known to boost milk production so this recipe can double as a lactation cookie! Plus it’s a great one-handed snack.
They look so so delicious!
Perfect for the season too ~
Hi Ilene! Do you use Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin?
Can you use all purpose flour instead of spelt?
Yes, it should work!
