Healthy and Clean Ingredients
For this recipe (and all of our cookie recipes, we opt for simple swaps to remove the refined white sugar, brown sugar and shortening. With just a little bit of effort, these cookies are much, much healthier than the traditional pumpkin chocolate chips cookies recipe.
#1: Use Whole Grain Gluten Free Flour Instead of Wheat Flour
I swapped out the traditional wheat flour with whole grain, gluten free flour made by King Arthur Flour. The flour is a cup-for-cup replacement for any of your other cookie recipes that call for flour.
#2: Always, Always Bake with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
If you’ve not tried coconut oil before, I want to encourage you to pick up a small coconut oil oil from Nutiva Organics and experiment with it. I’m going to venture to say that coconut oil makes even better cookies than butter. Trust me, a few years ago I doubted this myself.
#3: Just for Fun – Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
This Recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice is a perfect blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves. Pumpkin Pie Spice is a perfect substitute for recipes that call for just cinnamon. From Pumpkin Donuts to Easy Candied Pecans, we use this recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice in several recipes.
The Healthier White Chocolate Chips
Sometimes we do add just a little teeny tiny bit of sugar to our recipes. We don’t use keto-friendly sugar alcohols and we certainly do not want to use chocolate chips with tons of ingredients. So, we opt for Dairy Free Chocolate Chips and in a minimum quantity.
For this recipe, we used Enjoy Life White Chocolate Chips — and thankfully, they have several other varities you may like too:
- White Mini Chocolate Chips
- Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
- Semi-Sweet Mega Chocolate Chunks
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Dark Chocolate Chips
